Comment (by Ipstenu):

 That's technically already the case - If you don't want people listed, you
 don't list them. The problem is that historically we've told people "List
 folks who help you write the code as contributors" and NOW that connotes
 them being flagged as a Plugin ''author'' where it didn't 4-5 years ago.
 So we have older plugins who listed contributors as a thank you for a line
 of code, getting folks listed as an author in the forums.

 Plus we also have no way, looking at that plugin list, to know that I have
 nothing to do with Shiny Updates, and only did a bug fix once. There
 should be a way to differentiate between people who are working on the
 code, people who helped out, and people who continue to.

 We have 'Support' already as something people can add in, and logically if
 you have someone who helps you out, you make them support.
