Or we can exploit it using names of contributors who made relevant
contributions to the previous version, so eventually we could use it
also to promote ourselves (as a community) and encourage people to
contribute more into the distribution. The only problem I would
forecast is how be fair to everyone and eventually would make us waste
resources on stuff like measuring and weighting contributions.

So your suggestion really is cool as it is because it cuts down all
the logistics and hard decisions ;)
