Hey Joan, we have been experimenting with different variants of “contributor”. Of course, the hard part is that there has to be some public proof of contribution. When it comes to GitHub contributions, we have versions that look at code contributions as well as non-code contributions (eg, opening issues, commenting on issues, etc). We are also experimenting with different versions based on pattern of activity (eg, someone who comments on an issue once is not the same as someone who is responding to issues regularly). Personally, I loved the collaboration with OpenRank (see [Create your own Developer Reputation Scores - OpenRank Web Tool Intro](https://gov.optimism.io/t/create-your-own-developer-reputation-scores-openrank-web-tool-intro/9009) as a way of creating a pool of the most trusted developers. Curious for your thoughts on this and ideas for future iterations!
