When you say separate do you really mean collapse? In other words, the
collapsing of the two governance roles of Contributor and Core
Contributor into one governance role called Contributor? That`s the
obvious change I see, so I just wanted to clarify.

If people are giving out Core Contributor grants as rewards for code
contributions, I think that`s fine but that won`t give those new CCs any
work-related access privileges. CCs can vote in elections but that`s
about it. In general, if people are writing code and integrating code
into Project repositories, the role they need is "Developer" and that
role does not have any connection to the governance roles.
All the roles in all the collectives are documented with their
respective privileges (4 potential sets of privileges include: Website,
SCM, Administrative, Governance):

That`s the only document that attempts to outline all the actions on the
site and describes how the community actually functions in practice.
