"an organization that employs two major contributors" might simply be
enough.  I feel like we're getting wrapped up a bit too much with this
notion that the company has to explicitly provide time for it, which
might be difficult for a variety of reasons.  If they're major
contributors, chances are they get time at work to work on it.  If the
*contributors* don't feel the company should be listed, then we
shouldn't list the company, but we can let them make that decision (it
should be up to them even if they *are* given some time to work on PG
explicitly..).
