Well, many types of contributions involve bugs and git commits (sysadmins,
documenters, website, etc), so it is a good start. Of course, there are other
things we can try to cover (events organizations, talks, mailing list
maintainers, wiki writers, etc), so we can find ways to recognoise this work.

Vinicius mentioned several ways to gather information:
- For BugZilla, there is XML RPC communication support [1]
- For Damned Lies, we can get a feed of actions (like [2]), but only if we
specify a language or a module. Hacking it to provide a
global feed of actions (and informing the user email in the feed) would
solve the case.
- For git, we can use server-side post-receive hook [3] or parse cgit feeds
(like [4])

[3] http://progit.org/book/ch7-3.html
[4] http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/atom/?all=1
Does anyone have some experience with this to know how difficult is to make all
of these working ?.
BTW, Vinicius' Community page project work is here:
https://github.com/vdepizzol/gnome-buddypress-community
It is based in the Wordpress plugin called Buddypress.

I think the kudos sounds like a very good idea :-) and it works to fill the gap
of activities not covered by bugs and git commits to some extent and give a
more human touch.
