Hi Kevin, 

this is not an easy question to have a definitive answer on.
 
I'd say as long as the amount of work somebody put into 
isn't negligable (say migrated 20 lines of small module) 
he / she should be named as a contributor.

I think we should probably more focus on how we can make the net
amount of work somebody spent on the artifact(s) more transparent, so
that it becomes a more visible to everybody if a contributor is 
only contributing a few or a huge pile of work.

But even then sometimes the smallest changes carefully thought and
crafted do the largest impact. 

Best Frederik
