@jwnasambu What a great idea and your timing is fantastic! Not only has GSoC and our Fellowship Program come to an end, our upcoming November Community Meeting gives us a perfect opportunity to recognize everyone who has achieved a new dev, pm, and/or omrs stage this year.
I know that @jayasanka has been thinking about the same thing - and maybe he’s reached out to GSoC mentors to get their input on the right dev stage for GSoC contributors. And there likely are others in the community who might be deserving of a higher dev stage.
Our process for determining who should advance & when is in need of some TLC. Until we give it that TLC, please try using 
this recommendation form 
to tell us who you think should advance to a higher dev, omrs, or pm stage - and why. If you think you’ve earned a higher stage, you can use the form to recommend yourself! I’ll then liaise with /dev/3s, /dev/4s, and /dev/5 to review & make the right stage adjustment.
As a reference, check out the dev, PM, omrs stages pages on our wiki to get a high level view of the criteria, expectations, and priveleges for each stage. This worksheet, which is a work in progress, can give you some more details about the specific skills each stage needs to meet the criteria and expectations.
