Of note on this is:

Editing the contributor listings will be carried out by the Core Team. 

This is outside the scope of core purpose as they portray themselves.
Which is as a steering committee/release manager.

Although members of core could certainly be part of the process, I
think that like everything else in the infrastructure contributor
management should be lead by a team of individuals, a committee if you
will.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
