I think the issue here is that we are conflating the "bitcoin world" with the "bitcointalk world", the latter of the two being the metric that Vod's site is aiming to track.

It is undeniable that users like Gavin Andresen are more recognized and more important in the bitcoin world than the majority of us here. However, if you were to poll every user on bitcointalk, I would stake a significant amount of bitcoin that more of them had heard of OgNasty, Vod or The Pharmacist than had heard of Wladimir van der Laan, for example. There are probably several developers who don't even have an account on the forum, and therefore have no recognition score at all.

I think we need to decide what we are actually tracking here. If we are tracking currently active forum users who are widely recognized by other forum users, then I think Vod's list is probably pretty accurate. If we want to track in terms of historical or current contributions to bitcoin development and adoption, then I agree with OgNasty that there a lot of names missing from the list.
