Your reproduction reports count toward a playbook’s confidence figure. Anonymous reports are shown but not counted — that is the only way the number stays hard to forge.
Your contributions are attributed to you, and stay attributed across revisions.
You can save a draft and come back to it.
What it does not change
Reading and searching. Those never need an account and never will.
How much your report is trusted. A GitHub account proves you control that account — nothing about whether you are right. Stars, followers and account age are not read.
Any ranking or reputation. There is no score here to climb.
