Foundation people like Walter and myself are not going to be 
rewarded, however,
unaffiliated titans such as Iain, Vladimir and kinke have the 
opportunity of being rewarded. Of course, it is their decision if 
they do or don't want to participate in the race. Either way, the 
scoring system is going to track everyone's activity and then we 
can exclude foundation members and take into account potential 
prize yields.

If you are hinting at intentionally introduced regressions, I 
think that it is the burden of the reviewer to catch them at 
review time. If not, it really depends on who has time to fix it. 
I, personally, fixed tons of regressions and only a small part of 
those where introduced by me. I think that we can just assume 
good faith and acknowledge the fact that people make mistakes and 
it's fine to reward them if they fix them.
