Is anyone interested in helping to bring the #Drupal credits system to the broader open source community?

https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/docs/marketplace/contribution-credit-weight-and-impact-on-ranking

The idea of the credits system is to give credit to individuals/organizations for their code and non-code contributions to Drupal. Their system is, however, open source and reasonably extensible (f.e. to plug in other code and issue solutions).

The end goal is to create transparency to help steer customers towards organizations doing meaningful work with upstream.

Been away from the computer for a few days (mostly) and my brain has cooked up some plans for octobox 2.0 with multi-forge support, as if I don’t have enough on my plate already.

@andrewnez it definitely makes me think about how complex some dependencies are - like sometimes I’m like “wait, why would it even need to do that?”
