[Board] acknowledging both sponsors vs participants

[Jody Garnett]

Separating out one idea from the sponsorship thread -

We are setting up a Sponsors and Donations page with Platinum, Gold,
Silver, Bronze categories to acknowledge those who financially contribute
to OSGeo.

I would like to consider setting up a page to acknowledge organizations
that participate in OSGeo at the project level. fortunately in this case
the categories are easier to manage:

- Leadership - project steering committee or similar responsible for
decision making
- Maintainer - module maintainer, responsible for code reviews, release,
build server or some other aspect of project health and happiness.
- Committer - obtained commit permission on a project
- Contributor - submitted functionality or fix that passed code review and
was included in a release

Not all projects have these distinctions but the roles are well understood.
Example GeoNode rewards their most active committers with a PSC style vote
:)
