I suppose one could tie the concept of volunteering activity with a
voucher
system,
which could then be pooled/collected with to a Guix theme for funding.
For example, it could well be that patch reviewers have a desire to
valorise
a specific activity.
Getting a specific volume of patches signed off could reach 70% of the
threshold.
The remaining 30% is made up from the 'circles' concerning the
languages Foo
and Bar.
... perhaps there are some anarcho-syndicalists out there who can
recommend
something more nuanced.
