I'd like to put forward two names of significant contributors:

For obmc-console, Jeremy Kerr. He's the author of a large amount of
the code and has helped out with a number of reivews through the 20
comments he's made.

For phsophor-mboxd, Andrew Jeffery. He's spent a lot of time reviewing
patches and helping guide the direction of the project. He's given 166
reviews, and made 207 comments.

I used https://github.com/wikimedia/analytics-gerrit-stats to generate
some of these stats. It could be used to identify other significant
contributors, even if it's simply confirming what we already know.

Cheers,

Joel
