Bug Description

People's karma (well, my karma) doesn't seem to have changed for several days, despite activity. The last time it changed was before the most recent launchpad upgrade.

Reproduce this by checking your karma today, then answering this bug, then checking your karma tomorrow. It'll say you got karma for commenting on a bug, but it won't actually change your karma.

Yah, confirming this one, I have been doing a lot of answers just about everyday, so my karma changes almost every day. Now since Friday Dec. 4 it stopped changing, I have also made a branch that doesn't show up on my Mostly Involved Projects.

Looks like this is fixed (3:00AM EST was the update time, for future records).

It can also be seen that the branches aren't updating such as in the "Most Active In" part the newer branches don't show up

My last karma update was around Monday Dec 14th.
I'm doing quite a lot bug work daily so I can clearly see that the karma is not updating for about a week.

allocate-revision-karma.py has been running for 3 days. spm nohuped it to get nightly.sh running again.

After 6 hours of no progress, called "No Joy" and killed it. Rest of nightly is (hopefully) running.

With any luck, we'll get a stack trace where I killed it.

This script scales like a chair. I think someone from the code team needs to investigate. Something dramatic in the data or script must have changed in December.

Hi there, when I first saw this bug (through a Mailing List) in beginning of December, I noted that my karma was at 4809. We are now in January, and with many answers and bug responses/triage the karma has not yet changed.

With any luck, when this is corrected, the karma will retroactively come flooding in ;-)
It would be a shame not to get/give credit where work was done. Not that I'm counting...

My karma has moved up to 4905, could this have been fixed already?
