Fortunately, in contrast to LOC-based corporate logic, we are not
distributing rewards according to that metric because it does not figure
in the shoulders of giants: work that actually _facilitates_ people
working on Lilypond. Some of that is providing a friendly and helpful
atmosphere, an enticing mixture of punishment and reward, like the "bad
cop / bad cop" act of Graham and myself. Some of that is providing a
friendly and helpful Lilypond, some is friendly and helpful
documentation.
