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:
