Note that Steve today has over 1.3M karma points in Translations (a sum of karma points would be around 650k, so I assume it's being doubled for recent contributions). Sebastian Bacher is the other "large" uploader (GNOME packager) who has uploaded around 11000 translation files.
How to best scale this to compare with:
∙ providing a suggestion, 3 points
∙ reviewing a suggestion, 3 points
∙ doing a translation (i.e. you are a reviewer), 3 points
I.e. if we assign a single point for a translation upload someone would have to do around 4000 translations to be comparable with Seb, or 7000 to be comparable to Steve. Still, we should note that these two guys are "worst" cases:
vorian | 22426
seb128 | 11344
mvo | 6303
cjwatson | 5553
mdke | 5002
doko | 2024
pitti | 1970
didrocks | 1807
arnegoetje | 1761
lure | 1597
ember | 1579
andreas-moog | 1422
kees | 1120
asac | 1090
chrisccoulson | 930
robert-ancell | 911
ken-vandine | 766
themuso | 718
ccheney | 680
jdstrand | 660
As an alternative, we can just stop giving out karma for these uploads except for templates. In general, I feel that's the right choice.
