I am a bit concerned by this pattern of logic, because it means the reward for registering stuff is a number going up. The best and smartest contributors are not motivated by making a number go up on a web page, but rather by (well, it's complicated but) achieving a larger goal that they care about, or doing something in relation to their community.
