Display changelog entries count on user profile link section

[tsunyoku]

Resolves #10962.

GitHub user linked

GitHub user not linked

I really would rather not. It looks like it may motivate people in the wrong way.

[tsunyoku]

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think it's going to motivate people in the wrong way any more than somebody may already be (changelogs display the user for each changelog entry, GitHub has contributors tab with similar statistics)

I don't see how this is meaningful? Might as well count the number of lines I write
and I put
everything on a new line
since that increases
it
faster

I can understand the issue as well and I usually oppose similar things using nanaya's reasoning, but I don't view this one as much different from the neighboring forum post or comment counts. it's just an attempt to attribute somehting to the user, even though the value itself is measuring a very arbitrary thing. it would be cool if this could instead link to some page showing what the user contributed, like a filtered changelog or somethn, but I imagine that is not straightforward to implement like this currently is.

but if the number is really that big of a deal then I guess just link github alongside the other mediaKeys ..?

i dunnnnnno

[tsunyoku]

okay, understandable. how about clayton's suggestion and we just display the user's github as another social with no stats?

[frenzibyte]

That just feels weird. GitHub doesn't really have any place in osu!.

[tsunyoku]

I don't think this should really exist.
