Or improve the existing ones, such as the 'echelon' field in ldap (=

I did not intend to comment on *how* to build a really good system -- I
don't think anyone is suggesting to throw away existing work or reinvent
the wheel. There are indeed many useful tools for specific aspects of
contributor tracking already; minechangelogs is another one you didn't
mention.
But a really good contributor-tracking system would tie together all of
these aspects, would also know about e.g. people who do translations or
design artwork, and would be capable of showing e.g. the number of
people doing a type of task or the distribution of people across
different activity levels, rather than just taking queries for
individual people.
