Many thanks!

Twisted requires a high/excellent quality for contributions. This is great
and hope it will never change and will never lower the barrier.
As a new developer, who was formed in a mediocre university and working for
a mediocre/shitty company, learning what are the real good manners is not
easy.

Having the possibility to progress based on well defined skill/competencies
should make it easier to contribute and solve at least some of the tickets
from the review queue.

Once the skills are defined I am up for setting up a page and following the
process.

What is not clear for me, is in what circumstance I can consider a patch or
review successful and able to put in on my progress page / bingo card ?

Thanks!
