2) Are project PSCs actually willing and interested in identifying
contributors
in a formal way? It would be up to projects to decide what criteria
they want
and to notify webcom of their contributors in some fashion.

I think a PSC should establish a policy for their own project and

OSGeo should follow the projects policy if it exists.
To keep this manageable, OSGeo probably could be as strict as the most
conservative policy (hehe, I'm sure there's many that don't like that
;-) ). In that way we can avoid that OSGeo lists service providers for a
project that the project PSC itself is not happy with.
If OSGeo wants to be as liberal as the most liberal PSC policy, adding a
service provider fore sure requires more management.
Maybe incubation should require a project to accept an OSGeo policy on
this!?
Jeroen,
To be clear, I'm not suggesting that OSGeo have any policy for project
contributors other than that they identify contributors identified by the
project PSCs. If a project PSC does not choose to identify any contributors
then no one would appear in the SPD listed as a contributor to that project.
OSGeo itself would list sponsoring organizations as contributors.
Note, as an SPD maintainer I do not want to be judging whether someone has
contributed to some project based on some criteria. I just want a list
of organizations.
Best regards,
