I disagree. For example, if I quote someone, my attribution contains

Basically impossible, in terms of the amount of work it would cause.

Does anyone like my Wiki idea?

No, I think the admin list should remain closed. Too much information
on our hardware and so on can be gleaned, and there is no real value
to making this stuff public.
