Shammah Chancellor is indeed no longer working on Bitcoin ABC but is still working on Bitcoin Cash. An August newsletter lists Cashweb Keyserver and BCHan.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bch-dev/WGWqXjbA158

He is certainly not a BSV supporter. ;)

I'd say that the handcash people belong to the "important people that have left the BCH ecosystem".

One of the creators (the creator?) of memo.cash is Jason Chavannes (https://memo.cash/profile/1QCBiyfwdjXDsHghBEr5U2KxUpM2BmmJVt). He is BSV-friendly but he definitely should be on the list.

Also, I wouldn't put George Donnelly on the list. AFAIK he hasn't done much for BCH adoption so far. Maybe later :)
