That would incentivize fighting to keep a commit in even when it would
be better for the project as a whole to alter it.

Adding a market can be useful, but it is always dangerous¹ and finding
metrics that do not harm an existing creative community (that’s what
programmers are) is extremely hard. It becomes even harder if you try to
put it into an algorithm instead of trusting people.

Best wishes,
