So annoying. It is useless to bring gamification to open source projects. It won’t enhance quality nor bring reliable contributors. People should contribute to FLOSS projects without such things IMO.

I'm not sure that's true. It attracts attention and can induce momentum to get people familiar with a particular project or just open source contribution in general.
