Taro:

A strict reading of the Rules would say NO. The Rules do not provide for anything outside of the disc data itself. If I had the title in my library or wishlist what would i say...I don't know.

Obviously, the rules didn't envisage this. Just watched "Snakes on a plane" yesterday evening and there was a line in there along the lines of "we took care of every eventuality in the book. This one (the snakes) wasn't in it. " Ignoring the snakes   wasn't really solving the problem. 

If we wouldn't register crew then any crossreferencing would be broken and leaving crew empty is unsatisfactory to begin with.

In this, up till now rather special case I'd say take a cue from uncredited cast: supported by two sources ... and Taro already mentioned two. (No reason to flame, it is just a proposal).
Just document it in the contribution notes and refer to this thread, perhaps inform the screeners (via Ken)...

Any thoughts?

If it is important, say it. Otherwise, let silence speak.

Ken would have to be consulted and make the final decision on this.  I don't know why and exception was made for cast and not crew but, per the rules, there is only one valid source. 
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

LOL, Unicus. That is an easy answer. Until Ponyo I had never seen such Crew listing that would require outside data to fill in Crew Roles. Another one of those totally unanticipated issues, if you haven't seen it over the course of almost 100 years of film then why would you plan for it. In 10 years of profiler I have never seen this before, so again why would you plan for a contingency that had never been seen or evidently heard of until NOW.

So what we really need is a credit for the credit makers, and their supervisors, assistants, nannies, ...

The thing that you haven't heard it before, doesn't make it a fact. We have at least one accepted such a contribution "Tabu - Isänmaansarja" UPC: 6-416335-173816

Never said it did, Kulju, Your ummm aggressiveness is unneccessary, my friend. So there is one, ONE out of 400,000 PLUS. Wow, that makes it a common occurrence doesn't it. No wonder, I haven't seen it.

I am trying to figure out why this post had the tone it did.  I asked why the exception that is there for cast wasn't there for crew.  As one of the people who wrote the rules, Skip provided an answer...because they had never seen it before so didn't anticipate it.

Was there ever a consensus about how we should handle Ponyo?
