A gradually evolving list as time and opportunity presents itself.
When/how does a revival player come to be regarded as a traditional source player? For the present I am trying to stick to people who were born pre-WW2 and not worrying over it, there is plenty to be getting on with.
Generally speaking the figures may be regarded as influential, particularly if they were recorded.
A good place to look for source recordings of traditional singers and musicians is The British Library Sounds Collection
