That sounds complicated.

Also, I am afraid that splitting up contributions in categories will
do the opposite of what we want: people will think that code contributors
are a better category than conference organizers.  And I thought we don't
want that.

Ultimately, it is a value judgement who is a valuable contributor, and
we shouldn't try to hide that behind formalisms.  The process will always
be some variant of "Hey, I think Cornelia should be on the list." -
"I agree, let's put her on the list."

Yours,
