The links you provide only show developers who have write access to
svn. Git(not just github, let's not conflate anything) keeps track of
more than that. If there was someone who had forked a repo, comitted
something on their local desktop, then pushed to a public server, and
then someone on the offiicially sanctioned ofbiz git repo pulled from
this other source, then the original committor will now show as a
contributor.
And, besides, that isn't the point. The links you provided do *not*
show anyone from jira. Full stop. They *only* show people who have
write access to svn. Full stop.
In the past, ofbiz made a decision to move to apache.org. When this
happened, we had to relicense the entire project from GPL to Apache
2.0. This required finding all current and past SVN contributors, and
asking their permission. Then, all commit messages were scrubbed, and
if some user was mentioned in passing, they had to then be tracked down
and ask their permission as well.
The links you provide still do not show these additional patch
suppliers, and would not have helped.
If someone creates an issue in jira, then someone *else* uploads a file
and attaches a patch, it is this someone else that is the owner of the
code. Show me how you can track that down.

But that's not reflected in the links you provided, or users aren't
getting mentioned. With the git workflow, whoever created the commit will
*definately* be recorded, it doesn't require some free-form text message,
that may or may not be parsed correctly.
