Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of. If somebody referees a lot of patches, then they automatically get singled out as "somebody whose code contributions are extra deserving of reviews". There are 134 tickets that need review right now. If I were to allocate 30 minutes to reviewing something, it would be great if I could start by reviewing something written by somebody who has lots of review karma. -- William > top karma earner per release could also be announced as part of the release > notes. > > - Robert > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL: http://www.sagemath.org > > To unsubscribe, reply using "remove me" as the subject. > -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
