As you said, it's mostly about how the rips were created (i.e. through a submission or through a collaboration), and there just isn't a lot of that information out there. For some rippers it's obvious if they are notable outside the channel (such as Kirbopher or Vinesauce Joel), but for other people it's a little more confusing. We just don't know if some people are officially "in" the channel, collaborating with it, or submitting rips via email.
