Do you think language/API docs websites should support comments? Pros: Adds context, familiar format, engages community Cons: Can disincentivise contributions, comments might promote bad practices I've only seen PHP and clojuredocs offer this.

Should we incentivise open source contributions more? "You use feature FOO a lot! You're probably an expert, have you considered helping with FOO issue triage on our bug tracker [link]?" Encouraging power users to contribute back could certainly help when communities grow.

Quantifying Gnome contributions by frequency, tenure, and affiliated companies: https://hpjansson.org/blag/2020/12/16/on-the-graying-of-gnome/ Whilst the methodology can't be perfect, it's a nice way of measuring contribution trends.

I really value builds, lints and coverage metrics on pull requests. This still feels like an underexplored area though. There's no Travis equivalent AFAIK for performance. I'd love to have automatic benchmarking on contributions.
