Fedora Verified: Help Shape a New Way to Recognize Fedora Contributors

I have to say that I agree with others in this thread.

In particular, I find it problematic that a system that would result in - potentially significantly - limiting who is eligible to participate (vote and / or run) in elections is framed as “better recognize all forms of community contribution”.

I also started the survey - but given that there weren’t options to indicate “I don’t know what to answer here since I don’t even agree with the premise of this question” I closed that browser tab again, rather than having my survey responses contribute to potentially misleading results.

Being better at recognizing different kinds of contributions to the project would be great, but the proposal almost reads as if that part of it was added after trying to come up with a system to limit who is able to participate in elections to “real” contributors (whatever that means) - which feels dishonest to me.
