I'm not sure that we have an official policy on that point.
My own take on it would be "are you mentioned in the commit
log leading up to 18.0?" (or some slightly-earlier point where
the release notes are finalized). It's not really about dates
but about contributions to that branch; otherwise we might be
falsely crediting people who worked on 19.x but not 18.x.
Also ... in the big scheme of things, we are way more interested
in crediting ongoing contributors than single events. So if
you're there in the 19, 20, etc release notes but not 18.0,
I think you should be okay with that. Everybody started sometime.
