people list pitfalls
This section of Drew's Weird Little Guys of FOSS caught my eye:
Will you write a “cool people” list, too?
No. Who’s on the list or off the list will introduce weird social dynamics, and risks creating a kind of popularity contest. Also, if I published a list like that, it would paint a target on the backs of everyone on the list for harassment or worse.
While Drew does provides this disclaimer:
Don’t harass these people! Don’t engage with them at all.
Couldn't his reasoning for not writing a "cool people" list above apply to any other list of people he could write, including the "weird people" list that he wrote?
