I'm not seeing any specific problems yet, beyond claiming they
are contributing when they're not, but other than the initial
OGB election, there has been no point at which contributor status
has mattered to see problems.
For the ARC community specifically, I was surprised both by not
including the people who had worked to make the case histories
open (I thought Glynn & Danek had done a lot of work there) and
by including a large list of people who have never submitted or
participated in any open review, while ignoring those who have
but had primary affiliation with another ARC (such as Danek,
Darren, and myself).
