https://contributors.debian.org/ lists Debian contributors. The page's 
description reads:

This is a list of all the people who contribute to Debian, to the best of our current knowledge <https://contributors.debian.org/sources/>.

The description is followed by numerous lists (one per year). No one is labelled as a 
current contributor. Unless one takes the list of 6 people from 2014 as the list of 
current contributors, one can interpret than either no one contributes to Debian or that 
everyone on the page contributes to Debian. While there may be cases where it is 
difficult to say if someone "contributes to Debian", it is certainly hard to 
defend the latter interpretation when the lists contains contributors who have been 
resting in peace for years.


I am not a native English speaker, but I think changing "who contribute" to "who have 
contributed" would solve that. If not, a "different phrasing" could work around that:

This is a list of all Debian contributors, to the best of our current knowledge.

That being said, I'm not sure splitting people by year (by default) is a good 
idea. It will already be hard enough to find someone via account names.
