I don't see that as an "issue" or a "problem" but rather as an
important feature of that listing (and any future ones that are
built). When vetting firms and people to do work (or new hires for a
company) on characteristic that I consider is the level of commitment
and contribution to the community.  I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in
this feeling.

And really - I'm not sure how someone could become "the best" in a
drupal area and not have contributed at least a minor thing that would
earn them entry to that list.

I understand and agree with the concept in theory - but in practice I
just don't see it.
