My impression is that core (in general) is a little sensitive about 
their position on that page. I didn't care enough to make the argument 
one way or another because I know that core is subject to the community.

However, your point is also valid in that the current representation 
makes it look like core is somehow the key to the kingdom, which is 
certainly not true.

I do not wish to detract from the importance of core either though. Part 
of me thinks the page should look like this:

Core (link to page with core members)
 * Definition of core, purpose etc....
Major Contributors (link to page with Major Contributors and Contributors)

 * Definition
Contributors

 * Definition
Hackers Emeritus (Link to page with Hackers Emeritus and Past Contributors)

 * Definition
Past Contributors
