I like it. I've added it.

I'm still struggling how to mark those removed contributions - or 
whether the above paragraph is enough.


Brendan Kehoe for contributing the port to the MIPS DECStation running
Ultrix 4 (@code{mips-dec-ultrix4}) and the port to the DEC Alpha
running OSF/1 (@code{alpha-dec-osf1}).

We could add behind the port something like "(removed in the meantime)" 
or "(not anymore part of @theglibc)".

Any good ideas?
