One thing this, and some other events, has made me think about is - how
are new community members supposed to know who someone is and what their
contributions to Ubuntu have been?  We have a developer responsibilities
wiki page[1] perhaps we should publicize it more and flesh it out.  As I
personally have a hard time keeping people's irc nicks, launchpad
usernames and real names connected, I'm adding irc nicks to that page
too.

What other ways can we help new community members identify people
involved in Ubuntu development?
