To me this sounds like a prime opportunity to have two repo pages: one for contributors/owners, one for everyone else, and the option to toggle the view for each account per repo.
The danger would be overcomplexity/confusion, but if designed to match eachother well with different priorities, it could work. Still, the singular view no matter who you are is certainly a nice feature that may not be worth getting rid of given how universal the repo page design is.
