I've argued before, though perhaps not in this forum, that Sun's org
chart *is* somewhat relevant. Section 3.3 of the OpenSolaris
Constitution defines Contributors as those who have "substantively
contributed toward accomplishing the tasks of [the] Community Group."
[1] It seems to me that anyone who contributes in some way to the code
that ends up in Solaris Nevada (and therefore OpenSolaris) meets that
test by definition. [2]

[2] An argument could be made that they even meet the constitutional
test for Core Contributors, but that's not what I'm proposing in this case.
