Why not use votation system?

[Federico Lorenzi]

Funny enough I got an email from a friend of mine, her signature seems
really appropriate here:

"Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that
counts can be counted."
Albert Einstein

While person x may not have committed anything, he may have been in
the IRC channel helping people, or person y could have done a huge
effort in cleaning up the wiki.

Cheers,
Federico
