I like it.  The process works for other maintainers, it should for us too.

Most of anything people do within Fedora's infrastructure is on Fedmsg, so I asked in #fedora-apps and was pointed at datagrepper[2]. We can probably define a query that will show a given user's fedorahosted repo commits, wiki edits, or other things of relevance. Combine that with mailing list or irc activity  and we can come up with a fairy good picture  I'm not even sure that this merits automation, tbh, but  I won't stand in anyone's way
