Vinod: Koha like most successful FOSS projects, work on a "honour" system where everyone is expected to do the right thing. We do have a "code-of-conduct" but that is mostly about diversity and other issues.
Further, everyone who maintains the website do so as volunteers. Expecting them to start acting as police is probably not the best of ideas. I know for a fact that Liz stopped volunteering on the PAID provider section maintenance as she was sick of dealing with it. The "X" no. of patch criteria does not solve anything IMHO for several reasons. Patches are not linear entities. Often they get to be completed only with active contribution of others. Most often, the patches are credited to individuals and not the companies they represent. So what happens when an employee dev leave and say joins another Koha service provider? Who will get the credits? It may sound easy, but its not so legally. Then how does a patch say one that permanently addresses the auto-increment issue compare against 5 trivial string patch? Basically, do we become bureaucrats OR do we write Koha?
