The only problem I would forecast is how be fair to everyone and eventually would make us waste resources on stuff like measuring and weighting contributions.
I would see that as a problem, because there will always be disagreement over whose contributions were more significant. I don't see that kind of arrangement working out well as there are bound to be people who are upset that their contributions were not deemed 'worthy' of that kind of recognition. IOW, I only see bad feelings coming out of something like that. Also along the same lines, though - there's always people who are going to complain that a release is bad, will those contributors want their name as part of a product name if there are actual serious issues with it at release? (Not saying that openSUSE has stability issues, IME it doesn't, but I know I wouldn't be comfortable having my name as part of the product name and then finding out that there was a major problem that got through QA. That might be taken by some as I was the one responsible for letting the bug get through). Better to stick with generic names and give credit in the CREDITS file.
