The list has already been started; it's in the gnome-foundation module
in CVS as membership.txt, and available on the web at this link:

http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=gnome-foundation/membership.txt&rev=&root=/cvs/gnome

Would it be useful to publicize this more widely?

By the way, so far, no one has been added to this list without either
putting themselves on, or specifically requesting to be put on. I
guess this is a sensible policy, but quite a few people who (IMO)
should be members are not on the list yet. Would it be appropriate to
more actively invite specific people?
