As we discussed about some member leaving 3 months ago and the way to
handle privileges after they leaved ( on -discuss,
https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-discuss/20110307/003908.html ),
and combined to the discussion with communication team about "who goes
in credts", I thought we would need to plan a group for handling such
cases ( as we have entries on planet mandriva for previous contributers
).

So I created a group alumni ( from the term used to track former
graduate in american university, everything is more classy with a latin
word ), so people who are leaving the project can be tracked ( like we
did for founders ), and so they can keep their aliases and sort usage
( ie, change ml/bugzilla subscription on others sites, etc ) without
troubles.

As the ldap refuse to create a empty group, I had to place someone in
it, so you will see my name , and the one of the president as the owner.
