Hey Joshua, what does a 'Normal" person look like??? :-)
Hahhhahahah, you have to get out of your basement to see them. Usually, they are at the latest and newest coffee hub, talking about hating hipsters while wearing skinny jeans and a new but used looking plaid shirt.
I think a separate list of contributors would be good. How about some 'Browne points' mechanism which would give a rough measure of the value of the contribution. My contribution would probably rate '1', whereas Tom's would be at least '100,000,000' - more realistically: my contribution would not rate at all, but Tom's would still be the largest by far! Perhaps a log scale so Tom would not show us up so much, and the contributions of new people would look more significant? Probably any such scheme would be too difficult to administer in practice, or taken far too seriously, though it might be fun.
I don't think it would be difficult to come up with a basic system that gives weight to length of contribution as well as quantity and quality. But I don't think your specific applies. Tom is core, that in itself is the platinum badge of honor from an outsiders perspective.
