To put my thoughts in some place for future discussions:
I do not like the term “Fedora Verified” in general. It has a quite a lot of bad connotations for me, and also I don’t believe that it correctly explains the desired system.
I think that what we are not aiming to verify, as in to judge, whether or not you are worthy to be a Fedora contributor.
I think the concept we discussed originally was closer to “the Fedora Project found a way to acknowledge your contribution”.
So if we decide to go further with this whole initiative, I would propose to rename it to something like Fedora Ack.

I do agree with the main conclusion of the article though: we need more ways to acknowledge more types of contributions. We need to get creative, but figure out the ways to support the creativity with some data points.
The data does help a lot, even when it can not cover everything and every flavor of contribution.
