and when add a stackview for this?
eg:
Current Maintainers:
item1
item2
item3
...
Past Maintainers:
item1
item2
...
item5
[more item]
Website, Marketing & Documentation:
item1
item2
...
item5
[more item]
Contributors:
item1
item2
...
item5
[more item]
the [more item] widget/button switch to a second stackview in the about.
the other idear is a link to www.haiku-os.org memberlist/or trac member list.
