Recognition of contributors and committers

This issue is created as the top level issue to gather the different issues relative to the recognition of the contributors and the committers.

  • contributor : someone who has created an issue or a PR, or commented anything on any repository.
  • committer : someone who has merged a PR.

We would like to recognize both of them. One can be a contributor on a repository and a committer on another one.

Here is a table of different type of recognitions that could be proposed and the related issues to detail it
