Well, I guess personal notes/braindump counts as contribution now as well. Can I use that for my CV? :D

Niko has an impressive record of both proposals and concrete contributions, FWIW: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/graphs/contributors https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/graphs/contributors

You probably could if you had a record of accomplishment and Rust leadership like Niko does! (And if you did I would assume your personal notes / braindump would be worth reading).
