Small summer status overview + request for some opinions

[Pedro de Carvalho Gomes]

Hi Tuomas,

Thanks again for the nice effort. I think Sven already covered the 
"donours" tab. So, about contributor, I give my humble opinion. I think 
it's a bit pointless to keep it the software a list of contributors. 
It's either outdated, or too long. I personally prefer to have 
contributions listed by major release (as you kindly did for 3.0). If 
so, a mention to "Amarok community", and links to relevant channels, 
would be enough (again, a simple personal opinion)

Best,

Pedro
