I see this as a promising jumping-off point. Assuming that cred works well (i.e. its robust to gaming), then “proof-of-contribution” is a sibyl-resistant way to allocate governance power within a community. But it’s a lot more egalitarian/meritocratic than 1-token-1-vote. I’m also reminded of this other post: SourceCred as Store-of-Community Value (SoCV)
A general question: what’s holding you back from writing the second part of the essay? (The piece that focuses more on SC.) I’d be curious to see a stab at it, even if it’s just a bunch of bullet point exploration of different ideas.
Also, feel free to borrow from / reuse the ideas from my SourceCred + DAOs sketch. It’s not plagarism so long as you leave a cred arrow pointing back.
