This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The current list of HTML WG participants in the acknowledgements section [1] is outdated. For example, Michael Cooper, Janina Sajka, and Rich Schwerdtferger are missing. Please make sure the section reflects the list of HTML WG members [2] before the spec is finalized. I guess there's no urgent need to update the list more frequently or before CR, unless it can be done automatically.

That's not a list of WG members, it's a list of people whose suggestions have improved the specification. It makes very limited sense to add people to that list just because of membership of a WG. (No opinion on whether the mentioned people should be listed, I don't follow public-html.)
EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: The list is a list of people who have said something that has caused the spec to change. I maintain it as I edit the spec. Often people who make suggestions are actually not the first person to make a suggestion, in those cases I list the first person. If there's someone you know has said something that has caused the spec to change but they're not listed in the spec, point me to the bug or e-mail where I made the change in response, and I'll fix it (it does happen!). The acknowledgements aren't a list of members because there's 1700+ WHATWG members and 400+ W3C HTML WG members and a high turnover, and the list would quickly become unmanageable and pointless. (And since anyone can join either group, the list would quickly become just a list of anyone who wants their name listed, which is quite useless).
