Inspired by GitHub plugins like ZenHub and OctoTree, I thought of the following ideas to make the GitHub ecosystem better:

1. Karma Points:

Problem:
Some people create a lot of GitHub projects with very little code of their own and most of it being boilerplate. Their commit history also shows only insignificant changes.

There is a need for a proper points system in GitHub that reflects your true skill. More like StackOverflow points.

Possible solution:

Ran this to find out number of files and lines of code, in the project:
git diff --stat `git hash-object -t tree /dev/null` | tail -1

The output as of 10-03-2014 12:15 IST was:
1420 files changed, 106561 insertions(+)

$ find . -name "*.java" | wc -l
src/org/wordpress contains 311 .java files
src/org/xmlrpc contains 13 .java files
