So I read about how Contributor Level works and how games that were ever bundled only count as .15 of their full value and it's retroactive so people don't rush out on GAs before the bundle list gets updated. Regarding to this, I have a doubt:
Does the retroactivity work for every game whenever you made the GA or just if it was after the original bundle date? I mean, if today I GA a game that is not bundled but gets bundled a year from now, will I lose the rating then?

Nope only after bundle date. Also most of the retroactive bundling comes from sales from cheaper regions.

No. There is a "bundled at ()" date that gets manually added for each game on the bundle list reflecting the day it was first available in a bundle/over 95% discount. If your GA was before that, it will keep its full value. (Though I am unclear on whether what matters is that it starts before that date or if it should end before the bundled date. Regardless, not likely to matter)

What I have read, it is the start date that matters

Nope. Retro-active bundling only goes back as far as the date the game first reached the "bundle-level" pricing. After that, your giveaway is only subject to the normal Steam price drops over time. :X

Ah, it's so good to see a question asked properly after reading the rules, and accepting the answer as well ^_^
