The lists come straight from the github repos. Each is ordered using what github calculates as "contributions". It appears to be a combination of commits, LOC, etc, and goes back to the origin of the repo, giving some contributors high on the list even though they are long gone (from EllisLab days). It may not be perfect, but it's what we have easy access to.
The size of the list is what comes back from github, namely the "top 30". Would you suggest a smaller list?
The stars shown are my own addition, corresponding to the number of digits in the contributions, i.e. 125 or 876 contributions would each earn 3 stars.
I think it is important to acknowledge the more active members of the community, and to encourage more, even if the ones further down the list haven't contributed anywhere near as much as those at the top of the list.
