Perhaps it doesn’t have to be something that only committers are responsible 
for. If we use comments instead of tags, anyone can do it.

We could a) add a bit of text underneath the PRotM section in the newsletter 
that says something like “if you want to nominate a PR, flag it by adding 
#protm to a comment”; b) update the script so that it heavily weighs PRs with 
this comment tag; c) add a comment containing that tag to PRs that have been 
selected, so we start to build a dataset.

In general I think it’s good to provide mechanisms for people to participate, 
and this is one potential mechanism. If nobody uses it, then - by definition - 
it has had no ill effect on anyone’s time. Well, anyone except me and Michael. 
And if someone nominates a PR just one month out of twelve, it’s worth it.

We’ll give it a try this next month. Why not? :)
