Thanks Jimmy, I reached out to one of them to have them email speakersupport directly.

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).
