Indeed. I once suggested only half jokingly that we should have a "Coder 
of the month" award. Maybe a "Reviewer of the month" award would also be 
good. Seriously, the major benefit most people get from contributing 
(apart from good karma and a warm inner glow) is kudos, and we should 
possibly lay it on a bit thicker.
