Description (last modified by dustin)
The idea is to have a web application which aggregates various buildbot activity into one place and assigns a total score to each contributor. It should be a fun way to motivate contributors and help them to compare their level of effort with others.
This would not be a part of the Buildbot application, but a separate service written and maintained by the Buildbot developers.

Sorry. Been busy with RL and other personal issues. Will try to get reacquainted with the code.

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.
