While I like the idea and would probably benefit from it myself, I'm
a bit sceptical when it comes to making OpenWrt.org an institution
certifying developers. Too much trouble was caused over having
'@openwrt.org' addresses and I doubt we are able to handle the
moderation needs (think: classic fraud, fishing, ...) of such a thing
if it is even a wiki, ie. free to edit for all.
Things like a wiki with only volunteer moderation somehow work because
there is little to no commercial interest in manipulation and it is
usually easy to recognize (ie. classic spam). In the moment that we
change that, we have to be prepared to also face a different quality
of manipulation attempts.

Just my 2 cents...
