I would suspect that those who agree with you would appreciate if you or somebody volunteered to act as our CKDO (chief kudos distribution officer). I do not think I have enough time to do that well. One good place to start might be to scan the list and summarize something like the following on weekly or monthly basis, as these are not something you can get by pointing people to "git shortlog" output. - Those who gave helpful review comments, "how about going this way" illustration patches, etc. Bonus points to those who helped onboarding newcomers. - Those who asked pertinent questions on common pain points, and those who answered them helpfully. If you are more ambitious, the source of the kudos may want to cover activities outside of this mailing list (e.g. giving talks and tutorials at conferences, etc.).
