The threshold for getting into the release notes is absolutely minimal, 
and I think it would devalue the curation work that you are doing by 
somehow combining the two data sets or making a third level based on the 
release notes or something like that.

Personally, I think it's all fine as it is.  Maybe an additional 
adjective in front of "Contributor", but it's not a big deal IMO.
