But how do you measure that quality? Based on amount of contributions? Based on +1's they've received on comments?

- xmj 11y agoBased on lines changed, merge requests accepted/rejected, etc etc. You know, GitHub developers are quite smart. They could just write their own weighting algorithm if they wanted to. :-)
- 672723074828 11y agoThose are absolutely awful metrics to use when measuring a developer's ability and talent, or the quality of this developer's contributions. They are also extremely easy to game, too.
- xmj 11y agoYes, that's why I trust GitHub to come up with a (proprietary, unreleased) algorithm a la PageRank that won't easily be game-able.
