Missing:

that lists all previous contributors (the ones that were deleted from the “Our team” page).
There are a bunch of people who worked on this. They were listed on the teams page of Vogon (which I think is now deleted, but it should in the history or in the old Vogon repo).

Also, let's add a sentence or two about what this page is. Something along the lines of "Many people have contributed to this project over the years. We especially want to thank Erick Peirson and Taylor Quinn for all their work on this. Besides that, a lot of others have worked on Vogon. This file is an attempt to give credit to all of them."

and then list all of them (you can probably also find names in the repo commit history)

some of the people in the repo don't list their names on their GitHub profiles and aren't on our team page. I'm sure you could probably identify them based on their usernames though.
