This is annoying me, since I'm a 1k in a paid premium plus seat but these guys are ahead of me, but presumably not GS and presumably not in Premium Plus. I suppose they could be different people on the two lists but I doubt it.
They are non-GS with an upgrade request sponsored by GS points.

This provides Polaris priority because it waitlists for PN, but no equivalent change for PE since all requests are for RN and then by status and fare class.
