I recently made a PR to dlang.org which is aimed to show a list of all
contributors to a Phobos module based on the git history.
The idea is to give all the awesome people who have helped and contributed their
earned credit!
One idea is to add a "Contributors" button, and when clicked, it executes some
javascript that then loads and displays the avatars for the contributors.
As there as been diverse feedback and no conclusion, I would like try to revive
this discussion - preferably on Github [1].
To argue against some of the posts here, a short summary of the Github
discussion:
1) There's _no_ performance impact - everything is down lazily after the page
was loaded (see Github for an detailed description)
2) The clutter isn't visible too most users anyhow as the contributer's list is
shown at the bottom of the page
3) It currently would require a lot of hard-to-main ddoc hacks to due this at
compile-time (see Github)
There's still the added net traffic (bad for mobile users).
If you have better ideas how we could incorporate such statistics, let me know
:)
