I agree.
It seems reasonable to consider schema:contributor as equivalent to
dcterms:contributor, which has been used in this manner in various contexts
for quite some time (see e.g. LoC:s relators – albeit they use the less
specific dc11:contributor [1]). See also the old proposal for Schema-DC
mappings [2].
