How can we become a top contributor..?
Answer:
Yahoo's definition of a Top Contributor is "... someone who is knowledgeable in a particular category".
It seems to be more than just number...you need to stay active. I have been a top contributor in Math and Chemistry, but fall off the list when I am away for a while.
It's something like being in the top 10 of best answers. Look at a top contributor's rating and you'll see what level you need to get to.
It is quantity and quality of your answers.
The primary driver is the quantity of answers, however quality also is a significant factor.
Yahoo has folks that review answers to identify "good" answers as opposed to average or bad answers from users who are just trying to earn another two points.

You can be a Top Contributor long before you break the "top ten" answerers.
I continue to be amazed at the people who submit answers like "It depends" or "I don't know". In my opinion, these non-answers are worthless.
If you're going to provide an answer, then make some assumptions regarding conditions that might not be stated in the original question. As an engineer, no one is going to gift wrap all the parameters for you.
I answer at least 25 questions per day (not all in engineering, though), and I get at least 5 best answers per day, for a total of over 100 points per day. That seems to be a nominal level for "Top Contributor". If I slack off of that level of effort, then I lose my orange badge. I am not in the top-10.
