Interesting initiative, but if the developers delegate to each other (as it is going so far) it doesn't make much sense. But wait and see and somehow the ball has to be set rolling first.

The discussion that has arisen is also interesting, here are two opposing comments that nevertheless seem right to me:

1.) The "lots of small accounts sacrifice for the benefit of a few accounts" pattern is kind of the opposite of what the ecosystem needs. (by danmaruschak Link)

2.) Without some sort of exchange in value, the existing development landscape is smothered by a free-rider problem. (Response from remlaps-lite to comment above. Link)

Developer accounts are usually larger accounts. When a small account delegates to a larger account, it may feel wrong, but it could still be worth it for the small account because it attracts attention.

Let's see how the experiment continues...
