It's offering incentives to get as many commits as possible. The
easiest way to get as many commits as possible is to go on a mass
keywording or stabling spree. It'd be very easy for someone to do a
Manson -- do you really think no-one would? Even if no-one does take it
to that extreme, it's offering a reward for people who commit two things
rather than doing QA and committing on one thing.
