I recently looked into the subject of Databases community contributers. The only person who (possibly) qualifies is nils.goroll at hamburg.de (for raising CRs and submitting suggested fixes). But this was approx. 1 year ago. There were 2 others who (barely) qualify as contributers - dennis at lauschmusik.de & ro at TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE as they have raised CRs. But this was back in 2006!
Myself & Zdenek Kotala regularly respond to DB related questions to databases-discuss at opensolaris.org, but we are both internal. I'm not sure if any of this satisfies the OpenSolaris constitution. But I would ask (if the community is terminated) how would people ask DB related questions of us if there is no databases-discuss at opensolaris.org email alias?
