There's a lot of us and many folks (or maybe just me) haven't met most people or are otherwise unsure about pronouns.

Put them on the people page? Good idea? Bad idea? Too public?

Thanks for suggesting this!

I am in favor of displaying pronouns on the people page. I also think it's very important to make it obvious that they're optional. I would encourage cisgender people to display their pronouns if they feel comfortable doing so, because that helps to normalize the practice.

As one example, I did notice that our friends at Outreachy have what seem to be optional pronouns on their interns page:
