Gentoo infra staff over the recent history of Gentoo

[robbat2]

So working on a cleanup of machines, I looked at the history of the infra pages in CVS, and I noticed that infra has had a lot of developers of the years.

I'm probably missing a few, that never made it to the list, or predated the list, but I think it's a good start. I've also listed what they did either from the webpage, or from memory, again apologies if I got it wrong.

I'd like to thank all of those that put work into infra in the past, but have retired from Gentoo

Yeah that was great! I hope to make it to Singapore sometime again in the future, too.. Awesome place. It'll probably happen long after retirement though, so we'll see if you stick around there. ;)

cheers!
