Comment:

 I still think this is a great idea.  I'd like to maybe shift the emphasis
 a little bit, though.

 Rather than trying to represent individual contributions by each person,
 or gamify things by assigning "scores" to people, there's a HUGE value
 just in representing "who's who in Buildbot".  That info can be drawn from
 a variety of sources:
  * MAINTAINERS.txt
  * Current Buildbot org members on Github
 (https://api.github.com/orgs/buildbot/members)
  * Current Botherders (https://github.com/buildbot/botherders)
  * Named leadership roles ("Release Manager", "Documentation Lead", etc.)
  * Commit authors in the last six (or whatever) months
  * Pull request authors / commenters
  * IRC channel participants
  * Mailing-list posters
  * Ticket authors / commenters
  * !StackOverflow questions and answers tagged 'buildbot'
  * ...

 I think we could add gamification *after* we have this other data, but I'd
 really like somewhere to point to that just lists everyone involved in the
 project, to show the activity level.
