Historic(!) or create a new class.

like this idea, with a new category.

The memorial page can then list those who have memorial RFCs written for them.

or we no longer need such a page, just an index to RFCs in this category.

PS: Noel mentioned a few old names, like Licklider (maybe less than handful 
people on this list knew him), or Coya (unclear whether more people showing at 
Atlanta know the name, or the other way around) -- life moves forward fast, 
history fading away quickly, if we dont make an effort to put it in record.
