The publicly accessible information about committers (name, project, components, picture, blog url, location) should be available to project websites via an API. This would allow projects such as EMF and Webtools to generate their committer/contributor pages from the master database rather than duplicating the information. For example, the EMF team: http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/project-info/team.php
Nick says: the API should be something like [1] and documented something like [2]. [1] /home/data/httpd/eclipse-php-classes/system/dbconnection_downloads_ro.class.php [2] https://dev.eclipse.org/committers/committertools/dbo_index.php
Sounds like a goods idea. For privacy's sake, I suggest creating a MySQL user that has SELECT privs only to select tables/fields, so that we don't risk leaking sensitive info. Removing the dependency, because they are not related, really.
From a security POV I don't think this is a good idea at all.
