Don't get me wrong; I really like the nomination process and I am now finding it very valuable, but it was just something new that I wasn't used to nor expected.

Please reach out to your mentors. They are volunteering to help any project with process related questions. Also, no-one is asking for contributions via Bugzilla.

Please keep in mind that people outside of your project don't have the context. We need to decide based on the data at hand. The very few words you have written above: "they have been funded as full-time employees on the project for years and they were omitted from the paperwork by accident" instead of "foo-bar" would have prevented it all.
