++ on the top-5 idea. That would let people know what the most common problems are, without singling out individuals (unless they're doing enough commits with the same mistake to end up in the top-5 all by themselves). k_f's idea of putting it on the wiki could be done too, with the top-5 post here linking the wiki for details like specific commits, etc. That would leave them out of the posting here, helping to further remove any feeling of personal finger-pointing and to make it more about the most common problems and the easiest way to avoid them. It'll be interesting to see how the most common issues and the number of occurrences thereof then change over time, and that should help in terms of review-project feedback as well. Less directly publicized as ideally, individual offenders aren't named in the top-five posts themselves, but also helpful in terms of feedback and also possibly of interest to QA over longer periods, would be whether the same problems continue to show up from the same people, or whether once they're alerted to them, they improve, and even if the problem continues to appear in the top-5, it's not the same people repeating the same problem. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
