I spoke with wwoods about this briefly, and I thought he had a good
idea. Using a bug reports as criteria for evaluating membership to the
providetester group. This seemed like a good foot in the door for
evaluating whether someone can take a problem and present the data in an
actionable manner for a package maintainer.
Perhaps at some point in the future, we could query bodhi for all karma
feedback a FAS user has provided. We might not have a rich data set
early on here considering karma feedback hasn't been stressed as much as
it is now. But just an idea.
How about gathering a list of wiki edits associated with the FAS user
[1]. In and of themselves, wiki edits don't provide a qualitative
measurement, but it seems to satisfy the quantitative aspect. It could
answer whether the FAS user has contributed to the Test_Results or QA
name spaces (test days or test events).
Just some thoughts. Hopefully, this is in line with the feedback you
are interested in.
Thanks,
James
