Re: Better contribution recognition

Without going into implementation details I would like to ask:

Is there something already existing for git based projects? Possibly
with gitlab/github frontends? That we can easily customize with badges,
points, additional rights? (eg. stackoverflow)

Some sort of plugin that we can work upon and not creating things from
scratch. I might be missing something but I could not find anything on
marketplace.

If in fact nothing like this exists, I believe this should be taken into
consideration before this discussion continues further.

I understand the workload and the responsibility the reviewer bears, but
wouldn't this make people believe that Pull Requests are not appreciated
and are of less value?
