Trying not to go off-topic too much, but... I was thinking about the next "developer education book" campaign, and am starting to believe that trunk statistics are heavily skewed towards devs that don't use branches (i.e. me). So please read the numbers with a grain of salt.
Should we consider coming up with some alternative ranking mechanisms? If we had a mix of algorithms (# bug fixes, # emails on list, # branches proposed for merges, ...), we could make the algorithm choice done randomly at the end of the year, to dissuade gaming the system.
Yeah, perhaps we should. I really don't know what would work though. Since we are so close to release, perhaps # bug fixes/point is good.
How about we make it a Christmas present this time?
