Alphabetize by first name and add @decentralgabe, in light of his leadership in conceiving of, socializing, and obtaining consensus to pass the Miami resolution, which gave us a "big-tent" model of Verifiable Credentials. Gabe was also instrumental in negotiations enabling us to consistently use media type names based on "vc" and "vp" across the family of specifications.

The list is sorted in order of the count and volume of comments the individual has contributed. I have no objection to adding Gabe if the group feels that he doesn't have to meet the same requirements of the others in the list.

What are the requirements that you are referring to, @msporny? They are currently unstated.

A comment score greater than 500 for this specification:

Leadership in a working group is manifested in many ways not reflected in the scores. Both of the demonstrations of leadership I cited motivating @decentralgabe's inclusion in this list (the Miami resolution, the media type negotiations) are not captured by these scores, but both were significant to the progress of this specification and the consensus behind it. Gabe clearly meets the bar of performing "yeoman's work in this standards community that drove changes, discussion, and consensus among a sea of varied opinions".
Also, I'll note that a cursory look at the data posted demonstrates that the methodology used is significantly flawed. For instance, Tony Nadalin had a higher score than many significant contributors to the 2.0 effort, even though he barely participated in 2.0, if at all. (Please do not interpret this remark as a slight on Tony, who I respect.) It is simply a concrete example of the data used to generate these scores not matching what actually occurred.

It makes little sense to acknowledge people who cannot be identified by the text in the acknowledgements.

Single names are github handles, we should not remove them just because they have chosen not to share their full name (same comments for all of the below):

If the working group is willing to acknowledge anonymous contributors by their GitHub handles, then these acknowledgements should be moved to a separate list and identified as such. I suggest this text as the preface to this list:
The following GitHub accounts anonymously made contributions to this specification:
For extra credit, the entries in this list can be links to the corresponding GitHub accounts. For instance "cdr" would be a link to https://github.com/cdr/.
The current description of these entries being sorted by their first names is incorrect.

Ditto about the proposed text in the acknowledgements not identifying the contributor.

Thanks for doing this, @msporny. I made a few suggestions. I will approve after they have been incorporated.
While I commented on new proposed acknowledgements that do not identify the contributor, I did not suggest removing existing ones. That said, the working group should determine whether to keep these existing acknowledgements that also do not identify their contributors:

PR #1579 finalized the list of Editors, Authors, and Acknowledgements, was discussed during a WG call and was merged.
The WG Chair has reverted that merge in PR #1584 suggesting a different understanding for how Editor's would be credited on WG specifications.
This PR finalizes the list of Editors, Authors, and Acknowledgements according to that new understanding such that it can be reviewed by the WG during the next call.
