I don´t think what Ryan wrote says much about
non-developers. They´re like a blind spot, or
outside the scope of this.
The credit list is development-centric, and
developers are simply the contributors who
have shown endurance, staminay and loyalty.
Its not undue to honor their commitment.
The current list´s committer enumeration tries
to approximate this. It fails of course. I, for
example, have commit access, but I haven´t shown
much of those qualities lately, or ever.
