Wow. I just whistled a simple melody and you responded with an
orchestral tutti. Nice.
My first concern with your sketch is the degree of complexity. I just
have to think more about it.
My second concern is the criterion for being considered a contributor
and thus eligible for inclusion in the list. I'd say committership is a
good criterion, or is it too strict?
I'll go ahead and localize my proposed version of the contributor page.
So I have something visual to ponder upon and discuss with you.

We may imagine different pages for contributors, so I sketch my one.
-Language 1
--Area 1: /website translating, website developing, write developer,
base developer, marketing, anything else./
---Contributor 1 /name/
----contribution 1
----contribution 2
----contribution 3
----contribution 4
----------------------
----Can be contacted on the following platforms /skype, mail, msn,
webpage, etc./
----platform 1
----platform 2
---------------------
Last active:
Date
"Usually I answer within .............., please be patient!" /1 hour,
1 week, 1 month, on Sundays, anything/
---Contributor 2
----contribution 1
----contribution 2
----contribution 3
----contribution 4
No contact information, just proud to be here, on the list
And so on...
Area 2, Contributors, Area 3, Contributors, Language 2
...................
A mail server could drop a checking mail with 'Are you alive? Are you
still interested in aoo?' message to every listed person in every
month. If 'answer' mail was sent back to server, 'last active' date
will be updated. If no answer, contributor will be moved to inactive
listings / archives.
And there could be three lists. Native subsite should show up only
it's own native contributors as Aivaras planned - if I understood it
well. And there could be a link on this page with 'Show me all active
contributors for every language'. And a link for 'Show me all
contributors'.
Probably not possible, but php and sql could do a great job for here.

Yes, that's why we (and mostly I drove this) created the original
page honouring all the contributors. Please: I'm not saying that
those who contribute ought not to be given a page and that that page
ought not to be local, if that's desired. Quite the opposite. Rather,
I'm simply not wanting any page created with the best of intentions
to be abandoned, lost, if the originator of it loses interest or
otherwise departs the project. That's my point.
A similar point was raised, most recently, I thin, in 2012. The issue
was listing all contributors. Okay—but the problem noted was that
such a list, as Rory and Rob put it, would almost always be out of
date for someone, and better to thank a generic "all" than to
identify, however desirable that would be in the abstract.
See:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-dev/201203.mbox/browser
Previous incarnations of native-language sites listed contributors;
there was no reason not to, but also no compulsion to do so, unless
the contributor insisted upon it, so each did so as resources afforded.
As to putting it on the dev@ list, the reason I suggested that was to
include more, not fewer people. If you think that l10n (or any other
list) works better for your goals, then go ahead.
