<p>HI Alexandre, <br>
</p>
<p>this is close to what we proposed in march - see [0] - with a
first attempt of a template for reporting possible contributions.
<br>
</p>
<p>I tend to agree that releasing material will not always help for
all the reasons mentionned previously. To me, just showing
contribution prooves each year should be enough.</p>
<p>However, I am not a huge fan of numbers. Some contributions are
enormous, but finally fall in a few commits. Some others are not
measurable, like getting involved in discussions, funding feature
in the long run, building and managing user groups. I think a
general template is enough to get an idea if a contributor is
faking or not. <br>
</p>
<p>Best regards, <br>
</p>
<p>Régis<br>
