Something fun was proposed: add randomization to it. So, we pick 10 out of the top 25 committers. The picking is done randomly, where your win-chance is proportional to your commit count (p = your #commits / total #commits)
That's an interesting idea. I wonder how the randomization would be handled to ensure fairness?
I like the idea, and curious whether it wouldn't solve your #10 problem. "Sure, I didn't do a lot, but I WON" type of thing. Solves the imposture problem in an interesting way. I don't think that we need Vegas quality randomization, I think the RAND() function from somone's spreadsheet would be totally adequate :-)
The randomization is pretty straight-forward. Something like a ticket drawing system, where the number of tickets is equal to the person's number of commits.
I'm sure we can find a website to do it for us btw.
