[Summit-Programming-Committee] Proposals missing speakers

I noticed that some presentations were submitted by people who are not listed in the presenters section, examples:

https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/browse/23939?category=331
https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/browse/23950?category=331
https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/browse/24031?category=331
https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/browse/24222?category=331
https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/browse/24223?category=331
https://www.openstack.org/track-chairs/browse/24228?category=331

At first I thought this was a UI bug but I think it may be a result of the way the CFP tool had submitters search to add speakers, including adding themselves. It may not have been obvious that the submitter had to add themselves to the proposal, especially if there are more than one presenter since the tool only requires a minimum of one speaker. I assume most if not all of these submitters were also intending to be speakers (in the case of 23939 and 24031 I have background knowledge that Vishakha certainly intended to be a speaker).

Can we do something to make sure this issue is corrected and that all speakers are visible in the speaker section so that we can read their bios? Should we the track chairs email the presenters to get clarification, or could the speaker support staff go ahead and add them?
