 If you want to find how contributes to core, it's easy, but everyone else
 is unlisted.

 Right now, unless the person who commits a patch remembers to 'props', the
 person who submits a ticket, or leads to a great discussion that drives
 the code to a solution in the comments, are never mentioned. This drives a
 wedge between coders and non-coders, as some people can help but they just
 may not be super coders.

 Proposals:

 1) When pulling a list of 'everyone who helped' for the credits page, also
 pull a list of all IDs who commented in the tickets that were commited and
 list as 'Also Contributed...'

 2) In 'Recent Rockstars' (which is a manually culled list anyway), pull in
 the active awesome people in support, documentation, codex, manuals,
 training, and WordCamps (for example). Include people in UI who contribute
 screenshots/design/wireframes that drive changes.
