Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Updated: Comment #0
Problem/Motivation
We wait for the d.o upgrade, and solving technical implementations in #2042697: Add historical issue credits to Drupal.org user profile of generating this as part of d.o.
New contributors cannot discover drupalcores on their own, and dont see recognition of their contributions publicly. Putting the field on their d.o profile makes it discoverable to every d.o user to know where to see it.
Long time contributors use their d.o profile as part of their resume and non-contributors who checkout out other's profiles dont know to go check drupalcores.
Proposed resolution
Add a file to d.o profile, and people can link to their spot in drupalcores.
Work around: just have people put the link in some text area on their profile... but that does not solve the problem of them knowing they can do that, unless someone tells them to.
Specific field proposal
https://drupal.org/admin/user/profile/add/url
* Category: Drupal
* Title "Drupal core commit credit profile url"
* profile_drupalcores_url
* Explanation: Add the url of your drupalcores reference, for example: http://ericduran.github.io/drupalcores/#yourusername
* Visibility: Public field, content shown on profile page but not used on member list pages.
* Rest: defaults
Remaining tasks

mgiffordI can see building a script that scrapes http://ericduran.github.io/drupalcores/#yourusername and inserts something into the profile of that user.
There are only just over 1000 people though who have contributed something to Core.
Seems to be moving things along where the code is closer to the contributor, like in #2213153: Learn from GitHub's Practice of Merging Code and Communication
We really prioritize Core contribs. They definitely matter, but it's by no means the most important contribution a user can make to the community. Sometimes it seems like we loose sight of that.
In general though, +1 on the idea. I do think that for 1000 folks it would matter a lot.

tvn CreditAttribution: tvn at Drupal Association commentedI am going to close this one. We recently added issue credits system. Displaying credits on organization and user profiles is the next step, which will address concerns behind this issue.
