Description

blocked enhancement

It would be great to start collecting none-code contributions — examples activity in discussions and issues.

This change could be particularly beneficial for the Kubernetes community. While the current documentation (link to kubernetes/community/community-membership) acknowledges that non-code contributions are not currently measured, this can lead to a situation where valuable contributions to issue resolution and discussions are not incentivized, and in some cases, members who actively participate in these areas might even be penalised due to inactivity metrics focused solely on code changes.

Software engineering and community contributions is not just about writing code.
