We have a list of Gentoo consultants at
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Foundation:Consultants

Several of the people on the list are (at least one of):

a) not active Gentoo developers anymore (and were inactive a while before being retired);

b) not actively contributing to Gentoo for a long time;

c) reasonable entities for someone actually in need of a problem to get in contact with.

The list as-is is not particularly fresh or accurate, and the occasional duplication
of person-as-consultant and one-man-company-as-consultancy feels silly.

How should we handle this, how can we provide useful and consistent information?

TIA,
Andreas
