right - keeping the same info in two places can only aggravate the problem.
however, keeping no longer active devs is not bad IMHO, as their code is
mostly still alive on master.

right - could we perhaps add this info to the About box, e.g.

Chuck Norris, general overview of the project and spaceship interface

agreed to keep it - the issue is where.
other possibility: could we add a link to each developer's github commits?
