I think we all agree that making contributions more visible is a good idea with few, if any, downsides. I would suggest to start there. Show on OBS projects how many users it has, show on user pages what he/she does in openSUSE: plain and simple 'making things more visible'.
This proposal sounds much more like the "collect, display and see what happens" approach. And while it might be proposed with good intentions this approach is the usual way gamification goes awfully wrong, discourages people and produces other unwanted results.
You really have to think hard about what you want to encourage, how you will encourage it and what the compulsion loop looks like. How about we start with collecting and discussing ideas about that? Like this:
