Enhancement: Gamify Contributions

[JacobCoffee]

Summary

One way that I have gamified contributions for a project is to have a "commit club" type system, where users commit to an organization or repository and are awarded some vanity role (Commit Club: 1, Commit Club: 25, Commit Club: 500, etc.)

This has so far been done manually.

It would be nice to automate this by having a configurable repo or organization (all repos, or certain org's repos (configurable))

Basic Example

• User joins guild
• User visits #commit-club, reads instructions to click link to link their GitHub and Discord accounts
• Byte internally processes this new user, searches the configured repo(s), and gives the user some arbitrary commit count (from 0+)
• Once the user reaches the (configurable) commit club limit, they are assigned the vanity role. e.g. User hits 5 commits, they are given the Commit Club: 5 role.

SerenityOS also does this, but I am pretty sure it's all manual

Drawbacks and Impact

It is opt in, Discord does not supply linked accounts and even then not all users link their accounts.

Unresolved questions

How? This will rely on the user opting in via some GitHub OAuth2 flow.

Additional idea (separate issue): When a user reaches some arbitrary commit club level, a configurable channel could/should receive a notification for it to celebrate
