+1.  For example, a single bug report is enough to get you into the
commit log and thence the release notes.  There's no requirement for
continuing effort, but I think even the lowest level of the curated
list should imply some amount of that.

Perhaps the release notes could be useful as a sanity check though.
Say, if a person appears in the last three release-note lists and
is not in the curated list, maybe that is a name to take another
look at.
