            Bug ID: 264411
           Summary: Contributors to FreeBSD: linking; and "the FreeBSD
                    source tree" is ambiguous (there is not just one tree)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
               URL: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/blob/main/docum
                    entation/content/en/articles/contributors/_index.adoc
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---

The abstract <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/contributors/#preamble>;
might benefit from a link to <https://www.freebsd.org/internal/members/>.
Cross-reference: bug 264410.=20

Under <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/contributors/#staff-committers>=

For the "source tree" (singular), I assumed /src/

As an example: names include Gordon Bergling, who, according to the three l=
ists
below, has a commit bit for /doc/ but not for /src/

ts.dot>
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/share/misc/committers-src=
.dot>

=E2=80=93 so, a false assumption.=20

Let's make the descriptive paragraph less ambiguous. Maybe:=20

> This list, which includes all members of the Core Team, names everyone=20

> (doc, ports and src). By surname:=20

=E2=80=93 and include a link to <https://www.freebsd.org/administration/#t-=
core>.
