For users to show up on the home page contributors list, they just need to have received any reputation points.
For users to show up and be considered a "contributor" when browsing categories or tags, the user needs to have answered questions associated with those categories or tags in order to show some kind of activity and earned reputation points within that specific topic.
Some user updates and point allocations are updated in a batch process that runs daily, so a completely updated reflection of users lists based on their most recent activity may not be immediate.
