Right, but the page says: don't contact people on this page, go to irc. So
question is if having such a list really help the users who seek help.

This page seems to be absolutely pointless and

on same page together
with
rest of employees, as many of current operation
engineers are now. Also
since we are moving the development to wikimedia labs, having shell on
production wouldn't mean so much. All the changes to sw and configuration
are going to be done in labs and later merged to production.
Labs doesn't fix "I'm getting a strange error on the cluster" that
requires digging
into log files. Or "Oh crap, this is broken, can you please deploy Foo
fix really
quick?"
So yes, having such a list *does* matter. If it's missing names, add them,
don't
nuke the page.
