Quick question for ComDev folks: Over in the Subversion project, we've had a number of people who have contributed in somewhat intangible ways. There are several denizens of the us...@subversion.apache.org mailing list who know how to use Subversion far beyond many of the developers' capabilities, and who are valuable assets to the Subversion community at large.
What's a good way to reward these individuals? If somebody were submitting patches as fast as these folks answer questions, they'd have commit privileges long ago, and probably be on the PMC by now. But in this case, the contributions are much more intangible, though just as important. How can we reward / recognize these people (thus encouraging them to continue to participate by having an "ownership" stake in the project)? -Hyrum
