Currently, for the roles of Trainer and Maintainer we have a page for people in active roles and an Alumni page. We would plan to do the same thing for Instructors (once we plan the active status project for them). @sheraaronhurt has suggested having Alumni on the same page.

Opening this issue for discussion to see what people think of this. I think this could make the pages get very long but we can have a ToC to ease navigation.

Preview what it would look like to have Alumni on the same page:

Assigning to @sheraaronhurt and @tobyhodges as they work with the communities where we list people like this and to @OscarSiba for general feedback.

I quite like the single page view: I think the navigation on the right is sufficiently prominent that the alumni do not get lost down the page. My only concern is about whether people might search the page for a specific person's name, find them but not realise they are in the list of alumni, and mistakenly think they are still active in the role. Typing it out, that feels like a pretty unlikely thing for someone to do? Also, I am not sure that the consequences of the mistake would be particularly negative/large.

I don't have any objection to having the alumni listed in the same page, but think in that case the header for that section should be "ROLE Alumni" rather than "Current ROLE Alumni". Including the word "current" and "alumni" is confusing to me.
