Interesting concept. Does the player score if they post a patch or if the maintainer actually accepts it? Also once you have this more fully fleshed out perhaps announcing this on some place like DebianPlanet would be a good idea. We have plenty of users who have time to fix a bug or two but not become full time devels. Or is this meant as a Debian devels only game?
