You are forgetting Occasional :)

In general I think that Active/Major is applicable and replaceable on
the current list. There are certainly omissions Stefan for example
which need to be remedied but I think everyone could agree that those
changes could be submitted shortly after the patch is accepted.

My primary concern is the removal of the word developer. I would be
reasonably happy with "Major contributors", "Minor contributor".
