Hi,
  I'm listed as Francesco Riosa (vivo) never had any contact deriving from
being listed → feel free to remove me.
Permit me one one observation though; the red in the column "Developer(s)
on stuff" is a bit too much, something gentler like a pastel yellow may be
more appropriate.

Thanks to all (active and past) Gentoo supporters!
