Due Credits for the PBI created or other contributions

[gelex]

I've just created my first PBI KMess 1.4.3 and it's an easy one thus it easily gets approved. However I didn't find my name in the maintainer. I created another PBI SeaMonkey 1.0.1 and it's already uploaded and up for testing. And I'm planning to make more PBIs coz it's interesting for me. My question is how does one get credited for his contribution to PCBSD? Surely there must be a way to motivate these people like for example their names or usernames get tied up with their contribution. Does one need to be an official member of the PCBSD Team for that? In Ubuntu Community of which I'm also a part they have this karma point system in Launchcpad.net where you earn points for conrtibutions you make which also tells who is contributing and how much contribution one has made so far to the community whether it be translation, coding, packaging, or bug reporting. How I wish there's some kind of equivalence here in the PCBSD world?

Good idea, I wish this feature is implemented somehow. About credit- have you describedin PBI, who is author of packaging?

I did see a field for the author of the packaging in PBI Creator 2.1. and I put the name of the program developer. However I put my name in the submission form. I noticed from the List Of Package Waiting for Approval that some of those who submitted PBIs and were approved also have their names or usernames as maintainers in the PBI page. I received an email that my PBI is approved. And I also received this email from Marcus that says there is probably something wrong with the PBI Admin Page:

Hi Ronelio

I know that there should be your name as the maintainer and not mine. I
allready have askes Kris and Charles to check the PBI Admin page why
always my name appears instead of the Maintainers name.
As soon as I know how to change/add the maintainer name I will change
it. Therefore I haven´t uploaded any other PBI incl. Seamonkey until
this issue is fixed

You have to contact Charles with this issue. We have lots of features planned in PBIDIR but it takes time and hard work.

User comments and reviews about PBIs.
Better submitting system and more information about why some PBI is not approved.
Screenshots.

I'm looking into it
