Better use this document:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Packaging_Standards
The document you are referring to contains a couple of errors from a
quick look at it.

btw it seems trivial to me that a contributor is someone who did
contribute to the PKGBUILD at some point. That is why the comment
starts with 'contributor' and not with 'firstsubmitter' or so....
