Maybe when WordPress.org is redesigned, they will incorporate some small widget that highlights a random contributor to WordPress. Like a public thank you or shout out, along with a link to their profile page. If that's too much to ask, they could add an Easter egg to WordPress.org that thanks contributors randomly (1 in 1 million odds and no more than once every 6 months for a person), when they are logged in. I know WordPress.org has thanked contributors as a whole in the past, but something more personal would mean a lot to them.
