[PR] feat(contributor-growth): surface information about people, never rank or judge them [magpie]
potiuk opened a new pull request, #1540:
URL: https://github.com/apache/magpie/pull/1540
The contributor-growth skills that look at people now only **surface information**.
Whether and when to nominate anyone is always the decision of PMC members.
## What changes
- **Never a ranking.**
Every list of people is alphabetical by GitHub handle, case-insensitive, and no skill orders or scores people against each other.
- **Never a verdict.**
`contributor-to-committer` drops the traffic light (Not yet / Approaching / Ready to nominate) and the per-dimension MET / APPROACHING / NOT_YET statuses; counts are shown next to the reference levels with the signed difference.
`nomination` drops its rating column and the framework default bars, and the narrative never says or implies readiness, even when the nominator asks for a yes or no.
- **Deliberately more, not fewer.**
`candidate-screen` lists likely candidates, deliberately more than the PMC would consider, with no floors-met counts.
`calibrate` relaxes the floors it proposes: `contributor-metrics floors --relaxation` (`calibration_relaxation`, default `0.75` of the elected 25th percentile).
Whether a metric separates elected from deferred nominees is still tested on the unrelaxed value.
- **A report is a list and a summary.**
The candidate-screen report, and `contributor-to-committer` for several contributors, is an alphabetical list linked to each person's details plus a paragraph or two summarising the findings.
- Every brief and report says this at the top, and the family README gains a [Surface information, never rank](docs/contributor-growth/README.md#surface-information-never-rank) section the skills link to.
Templates, specs (`contributor-growth.md`, `mentoring-mode.md`), mode docs and the 2026-09-27 design doc (as a dated amendment) are updated to match.
## Evals
Suites renamed where the step headings changed (`step-4-compare-reference`, `step-3-measure-and-list`), with new cases for an alphabetical-not-ranked report and for a nominator asking for a yes/no readiness answer.
Self-eval (Claude Code), all green:
| Suite | Result |
|---|---|
| contributor-to-committer | 21 / 21 |
| contributor-candidate-screen | 14 / 14 |
| contributor-calibrate | 11 / 11 |
| contributor-nomination | 30 / 30 |
| contributor-activity-sweep | 12 / 12 |
`tools/contributor-metrics` tests: 49 passed. `prek run --all-files`: clean.
