Summary

Not all contributions are recognized in open source ecosystems. Simply listing all people who pushed code is not sufficient; not all pushes are equal, and not all contributions are pushes. Academia has the CRediT: Contributor Roles Taxonomy, where contributors are acknowledged in their various roles (conceptualization, data curation, ). Open source ecosystems should adopt a community-driven, consistent taxonomy. Allcontributors exists, but the categories are not consistent across projects.
