Not much really, I tried to get my name on that list a couple of years
ago, when i reviewed more than i do now, and never got it.
And while my name is in a couple commit messages, that is a lot harder
to show to people...

you know, it's kind of frustrating when some not-yet customers ask for
certificated engineers, and there isn't any official (as in "from
community") certificate so you need to prove you're a contributor so
let's see this random commit messages...
