Has anyone come across the issue of someone listing themselves as being involved in a project without actually contributing anything to it? Doing so would be no different than taking credit for someone else's work.

The certification of Advogatons is informed (in part) by the degree of involvement and number of projects they contribute to. When one can easily list oneself as being a contributor without contributing anything to a project, it calls into question the assumptions that we make when certifying people. Remedies?
