Why don't we just pagerank github contributors? Merged PRs approved by other quality contributors improves rank. New PRs tagged by a bot with the rank of the submitter. Add more scoring features (account age? employer?) as desired.
It will be gamed, just as pagerank was.
Of course, but killing the 80% of low hanging fruit is already valuable. The rest is an arms race like always.
Not by everyone, so that would be better than nothing.
Excited to have to do SEM for my GitHub profile so that people will read my pull requests
