the rewards beyond “not getting punished” are mostly much more individual than the responsibilities are
I think this is key to any theory of responsibility. Especially when the “punishment” section is also pretty anemic.
In my culture, we mostly respond by acting as though this will happen in future.
If you act irresponsibly, we will expect you to … act irresponsibly.
I suspect there _IS_ a huge value in trust of one’s peers and users, and receiving respect on mailing lists and conferences. There’s no formal tracking or clear “you get it if you take responsibilty, you lose it if you fail in a responsibility”, but it’s still a primary reward/punishment channel about responsibility.
