I am working on moving some former OBO Ops members to the alumni list. That involves hand-editing operations.yaml. The record there start with affiliation, with name buried somewhere in the middle, which makes it much tricker to correctly make edits (adding or removing someone).
For example:

-- affiliation:
name: University at Buffalo, Buffalo
ror: 01y64my43
country: USA
github: alanruttenberg
groups:
-- outreach
link: http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/ruttenberg/
name: Alan Ruttenberg
orcid: 0000-0002-1604-3078
wikidata: Q30508557
-- affiliation:

(and then the next person's record starts)

I tried to make the file more human-friendly by putting the fields in a more logical order, with "name" first, but that broke the tests, which intentionally check for field order to avoid problems (whether accidental or malicious). See PR here, which I will close without merging: #2725
