Thanks ! I've read it, it looks promising. One thing that was
mentionned but not very elaborated is the relation it can have with
MIA maintainers. A good way to fix the bug is to find a new maintainer
if the current one is MIA ... Maybe a special bonus can be given
if the maintainer changes during the month (problem: several bugs of the
same package may be assigned to different persons).
In fact, the game could be extended by adding other sub-games with
other goals (all QA related) :
- finding a maintainer for an orphaned package
- finding co-maintainers for packages crippled with bugs
(criteria: number of subscribers to the PTS and/or the Uploaders field)
- updating a package to follow latest policy if standards-version still
is 2.x
The problem with those games is that they are more open to abuses ...
but maybe transparency would do it (posting a list of success to
debian-qa so that they can verify that the work has been correctly
done).
Anyway, let's start with the "bug" game only, we can extend it
afterwards I guess.
Cheers,
