Neither is brushing your teeth or cleaning the kitchen, but most of us
manage to do them at least occasionally. Part of being a grown up.

Instead of looking for a stick to hold over developers to get them
to fix PRs, let's look for carrots to make fixing PRs more appealing.

Idea 1: Fix 'n' PRs, get a tee-shirt, fridge magnet, plush daemon, ...

Idea 2: Give it status. Set up a web page with PR fixing stats

name/handle..total PRs fixed...fixed in last 12 months...average fixed/year
Sheldon......150...............90........................72
Leonard......131..............110........................67
Howard.......104...............20........................52
Raj...........80...............80........................80
