We don't even adequately and consistently credit people for reviews, and in
particular, we don't do so in a way that is machine readable and therefore
easily summarizable. This could be made to matter to tenure and promotion
committees, we could find new volunteers, but also we would make ourselves
relevant to a new generation of students and academics.
(You may not like the Chinese social credit system's criteria and how the
information is (ab)used [I don't], but the concept of rewarding desireable
behaviour definitely has some merit.)
