The first concern I had is that assist points that people assign to other won't be directly comparable -- so an "assist leaderboard" might be misleading and potentially cause more trouble than it's worth.
A point that Dev 1 gives to Dev 2 will not likely be equal to a point that Dev 3 gives to Dev 4.
This will be especially true if everyone has the same quota of assist points to assign, as people may very easily receive different amounts of help, and thus their "actual help per assist points assigned" values will differ.
