Yet another "brilliant" scheme from a cryptobro. Naturally this caused a gold-rush for scammers who outsourced random people via the gig economy to open PRs for this yml file (example)

Why does the tea project not have users claim ownership of GitHub profiles. That way it could be retroactively applied with no effort on the user or maintainer.

    I assume it's because they don't just want to count owners but also maintainers. How do you count maintainers? Does one accepted PR count? If not, how many? Counting owners only that would be fine though.
