[mb-users] NiN Remixes

As some of you know, Trent Reznor has recently made tracks from his last
couple of albums open source for people to remix. There's a few remix
contests around, one of the more popular ones is at:

My question is this. Reznor made the tracks available to be remixed, someone
has gone to the effort to arrange winning entries into a two disc remix
album of sorts and is available as a torrent (the track list/split is in the
torrent along with covers). Based on this, does this have any basis of being
added to MusicBrainz as a Remix Bootleg? And if so, would this go under
various artists or under NiN? I can't see the value in adding all the
remixers as individual artists...

I'm asking because of the Rusty Nails entries currently in MB:

http://musicbrainz.org/release/b0af9fbb-2307-4fdb-a6b7-f09825488ec9.html

Above are listed as NIN, Remix, Bootleg...

The one above, obviously is various artists, listed as Compilation,
Bootleg...

I have the first 2, I snagged from somewhere, and a quick search doesn't
really indicate where/who/why/how these came about...
