I believe the term was "legal" entity (If it wasn't that is what I
should of wrote). Which is true. We are however a "community".

Now that seems reasonable.
Core
Regular contributors
Occasional contributors
Past contributors
Core and Regular should be on the same page.
Occasional and Past on another? (At a minimum we can't have Past on
the same page it would get too large).
I don't like major and minor because a one line patch that saves
someone from loosing all there data is a major contribution but we may
never hear from the person again.
Sincerely,
