Some "mappers" have any or almost any mapping skill, they are just mentioned in "The Team" because they helped a bit and it was not ethically correct to not mention them. I think beeing a mapping dev should be more a question of knowledges and technics, you must be able to fix bugs/glitches or at least know some tricks like below to show you understand how the engine works in overall. On another point you also must be able to see the map in a public/competitive way and know what are the best changes you can bring to the map, If I understand well, Z3R0 and Undead are on this point.
