I won’t try to talk you out of it. I didn’t post this expecting accolades, but it was a non-trivial amount of work and it will be useful to several different types of people, namely newcomers trying to get names straight and people thinking about going into x-risk who are planning for the future. After all, I didn’t compile this list for no reason, I was trying to answer a different set of questions and this information wasn’t available in a single convenient place. Several hours and a lot of tedium were required to track it all down, and I’d rather others not have to duplicate the effort for no reason.
So I won’t apologize for it either. Originally the plan had been to make it as comprehensive as possible and post it to main, that way when I finish the bigger project to which this was just a prelude, I can link there rather than having one sprawling mega-post. Given the reception, I’m reconsidering that.

I personally think it’s very useful to have around, but it is not suited for Main.
It would be an excellent wiki article, I think.
That thought hadn’t occurred to me, but it’s a great idea. I don’t know how to go about doing that, but I’ll look into it.
Noted, perhaps I’ll just make updates to this list.
