So, are Contributor designations (the ones that go back to poll)
stored separately from the Contributor roles listed under Community
Groups. It looks to me like they are, because my own don't match.

According to the Data Migration strategy:

3. Community Group Leaders in Tonic who were not identified as Core
Contributors in Step 1 will be CONTRIBUTORS of the relevant Community
Group in Auth.

Which is consistent with what I see. But those aren't Constitutional
Contributors, so I'm hoping that - just like there's a "foo electorate" shown
in auth with Members - you've got the Contributors from poll for that
foo electorate and we just can't see them as a separate item.
