I think, per the strategies mentioned before, this would be:

  A) creator = Robert, contributor = Olu
  B) creator = Olu, contributor = Robert
  C) creator = Robert, contributor = Olu (judgement call, here)

I forgot to mention that there are a couple of other strategies for
assigning roles:

  D) Make everyone a creator.
  E) Make everyone a contributor.
  F) Just leave out creators and contributors altogether.

They're all arguable, but they don't need examples.
