That's how you get individuals who insist that you attach their name to your ticket (or better yet, do it themselves) after they helpfully inform you about an automated test failure in your commit. "Relentlessly mentoring team members on culture of quality" et cetera.
Exactly. If you don’t consider how people might game the system, you are in trouble. Little fixes like this open other possibilities for gamesmanship and now people fight over whether their contribution was good enough to be included in the ticket.
I mean, all of this is gamable by those who want to minmax. But this is a workplace and those kinds of abuses can be solved with a slap on the wrist 80% of the time.
