I still think that it's a very good idea to remove this list from the
front page, not only because it is outdated, and it doesn't necessarily
reflect the impact of the listed contributors, but maybe most
importantly because that info just doesn't belong there.  Users want to
see the TOC, and not a list of contributors.  I would also remove the
copyright line there, since the first item in the TOC is the "Copyright"
section (and even that link should be moved towards the end of TOC, in
my opinion).
