It looks like a good source of information for developers working on products built on top of GitHub's API. (Like Gitpoints, http://gitpoints.com, in my case.)
It's funny, this is exactly what I proposed at our company to make sure that tested code gets promoted. If the build fails, the dev loses points, and his next push requires a code review from another person who has more points.
Hopefully not! We're trying hard to focus on making the whole team improve and learn and apply best practices, and not on pointing fingers at the last one in the leaderboard.
You have a point, though. We'll try to prove you wrong ;)
