Truthfully, I think this is something that should be solved through
crowdsourcing. Why is a relatively small group of people (-hackers)
trying to solve a problem that each individual can solve on their own
given the tools?
Allow people to submit for approval their own contributor listing, allow
people to edit for approval their own contributor listing. Just like
news/events.
If people want to be listed they can be, it just has to be approved.
Then have a very basic (not unlike what JB just posted) rules for the
moderators to review against.
