We could try using machine learning for scoring commits. I think this could work out great, because the scoring problem is one of simple categorization. - When you add 16k lines, you obviously didn't write them and should not get credit. - When you add 500 files, you generated them. No cookies. - When you delete something in one file and add it (or something very similar) in another file, you didn't write that either. - Some languages (filetypes) are more verbose and could be worth less points. - We finally have a way to ignore binary blobs ( #54 !) If this system works out well, we removed the need for bounties, which would open the way for #89 .
