Bots are now many times applications or some form of automated feature that as a "bot" tag on them and can be seen visually. The github api hold them in the "type" field for a "user" https://api.github.com/users/welcome[bot]. It would be great to have this type distinction as a column in the contributors table to use to filter out bots (and maybe other use cases in the future from the type field.
