Right, but the page says: don't contact people on this page, go to irc. So question is if having such a list really help the users who seek help.

This page seems to be absolutely pointless and also incorrect, since the production is managed by operation team which contains a lot of people

such
a list somewhere on meta, they should be located on same page together
with
rest of employees, as many of current operation engineers are now. Also since we are moving the development to wikimedia labs, having shell on production wouldn't mean so much. All the changes to sw and configuration are going to be done in labs and later merged to production.
Labs doesn't fix "I'm getting a strange error on the cluster" that requires digging into log files. Or "Oh crap, this is broken, can you please deploy Foo fix really quick?"
So yes, having such a list *does* matter. If it's missing names, add them, don't nuke the page.
