The innocuous possibility is that they wanted it for 2016 or to thank people who had supported them. However, there were other accounts, in addition to this, that stressed those people that the Clintons were angriest at. People they thought indebted to them, who did not support her. It is pretty clear that many could likely consider themselves permanently written off by the Clintons ... unless there are ways the Clintons could use them.
To me, the strangest part of that was that because he had been President, they counted anyone, who in any race had the President's support - something that is a given for most people in good standing in their own party. In addition, any help that others had given the Clintons -- in 1992, while he was President, when he was being impeached etc didn't count against that debt. Only what the Clintons had done for the party -- and no discounting for any negatives either.
The worst thing is that I honestly think that trait - which I view as a very negative human trait - likely has helped both of them. The fact that she is highly likely to be President may have made many consider that they should commit when she asked them to rather than be pariahs if she won.
