Organizing contributors on a project like this is like herding cats.
Threats and penalties are unlikely to be effective. This is essentially
a charity where people give in ways that work for them, and you take
whatever they have to give. I'm extremely uncomfortable with the idea of
a prescriptive system. I've proposed them myself in the past, but I have
since come to the realization that it will simply drive people away.
