This has been discussed in the PSC
(http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/PSC_Meeting_7_Feb_2014), but I'm not
actually sure what the outcome was.

I don't like that there is a necessity to do this - and I'd like to avoid it
too.   But I also think there needs to be a way to value contributions and
make it visible who invests into the project.
