 The FreeBSD project recognizes contributors in several different lists in the documentation and in printed materials.
 This section describes how the documentation team manages changes to these lists.
 
-=== Finding the Correct Files
+=== Mentor and New Committer Relationship Lists
+
+Since FreeBSD 7.0, FreeBSD has maintained link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/share/misc[three lists of contributor mentor / mentee relationships] - one for source code, one for ports and one for documentation.
+These files are in *".dot"* format, intended for use with the popular graphing toolkit package:graphics/graphviz[] available as a FreeBSD package or port.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+man:dot[1] is installed as part of the package:graphics/graphviz[] package or port.
+The [.filename]#dot# program reads files in *".dot"* format and creates a graphical image of the directed graph.
+====
+
+The three files often serve as a learning experience for new committers of all three teams who are instructed to add themselves, and their mentor, to the appropriate file as their first commit.
+Each file has a "current" section for new committers, an "alumni" section for when the commit bit is returned, and a "mentor / mentee" section showing the relationships.
+The format for each type of entry is explained at the top of the file.

+When notifying the BSD community of the death of a community member, the following procedure should be used:
 
-. Search the files above for the name, email address, and nickname (such as `foobsd`).
-. Since the member is deceased (which should be double checked) remove the name from the appropriate file and add them to the "In Memoriam" file ([.filename]#contrib-develinmemoriam.adoc# as noted above) by editing the appropriate files.
-Try to find some additional information about their contributions to FreeBSD over the years and add it with their entry in the file.
-This may require asking in the development mailing lists, contacting colleagues, contacting the FreeBSD Foundation, or searching through the commit logs.
-. Where an email address is found with a name, remove the email address, but leave the name.
+. Use the file [.filename]#~/doc/shared/authors.adoc# to look up the person's name and attribute reference, such as `{foobsd}`.
+. If they are a current member of one or more FreeBSD project teams in [.filename]#~/doc/website/content/en/administration.adoc#, remove all instances of their attribute reference.
