The problem with complicated rules (which these, I think, already are) is how to keep track of people that helps to which level. I make a point of crediting reviewers and code contributors in my commit messages, but can you tell which ones of the following guys should make it to these lists? I yanked this text from my commit 73c986adde5d73a5e2555da9b5c8facedb146dcd: Reviewed to varying degrees by Michael Paquier, Andres Freund, Robert Haas, Amit Kapila, Fujii Masao, Jaime Casanova, Simon Riggs, Steven Singer, Peter Eisentraut I do agree that we need to give credit in some form, though. I'm just saying can we please not put the responsibility on committers.
Truthfully, I think this is something that should be solved through crowdsourcing. Why is a relatively small group of people (-hackers) trying to solve a problem that each individual can solve on their own given the tools?
Allow people to submit for approval their own contributor listing, allow people to edit for approval their own contributor listing. Just like news/events.
If people want to be listed they can be, it just has to be approved. Then have a very basic (not unlike what JB just posted) rules for the moderators to review against.
