This isn't about public humillamation, this is about bragging
rights. "I've only broken the tree twice!! Nyah-hahaha!! I'm
twice the hacker you ever were! My llama's bigger than your
llama!"
It's humillamation when only one person is singled out. That's
why I suggested asking for volunteers to get the page off to a
good start. Of course, it must be said that it is easier to just
blame the core team for not brandishing their big sticks.
