I agree. After looking at the KDE page, it just seemed silly and awkward
to me. It's nice that these men support women devs in the KDE project, but
do they need to be publically acknowledged? I do believe the point is to
support women (and the project), not to support the supporters of the
women.

I agree. Supporters could just mean "people who aren't categorized as
contributors to debian, but do participate in the debian-women project"?
Maybe another word would be better, but one isn't coming to mind.
