I propose that we leave Gerard van Dongen and Jamie Tittle on the list since they are still with us in spirit.
i regret that i do not fully understand this request either. while both of them have contributed a lot and chances are high that they would be contributing if they were still with us, i do not see a point in treating them as if they were still among us. a usual clause for "vereins"-members (in morbid austria) is, that their membership ends with their death.
personally, i would not want to do the removal of jamie or gerard just because they are no longer with us. but i have little problem in having their sourceforge accounts be part of an automated process.
I agree with that. It's a delicate issue: James and Gerard will be with us in spirit. They belong to the project as long as the project exists.
But if we update the list and make it into a list of active developers
- something which I would advocate - it would not be appropriate to keep
their accounts in that list.
We should avoid to create the impression, that James' and Gerard's developer accounts are only listed because someone "forgot" to update the list.
I guess that I am the only sentimental one here. I just thought it would be a nice gesture to leave them there.
If you want them to be remembered, it may be better to name something after them. Not many people will be perusing the list of developers.

Yeah, I was planning on making this Pd-extended release in memory of Jamie. I was thinking of just putting that on the webpage, but I guess something better could be done.
