FWIW we already have Streak Peak, but it's called 👻 Ghost Streak. (Because the streak is dead, but it refers to the "ghost cars" in some racing games where you race against your previous best lap). You can find it on your profile page.
I think the difficulty with adding a third streak is that it's complicated and I'm not sure it really solves the problem. People would still feel bad for losing their Streak Count.
And if we would make the Total Shippin' Days more prominent then there's not as much an incentive to ship daily since you can "just ship tomorrow" which is what the whole streak thing is meant to prevent.
A single value based on 3 metrics combined might just do it. How well that could be depends on weightage assigned to metrics. That figure surely becomes more of a rep than streak then.
Then leaderboard could be split in 2 sections:
1) Rep score - Helps people who let the streak go away + are going to.
2) Underdogs - People who are gaining streak (Crossing certain milestones, like 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, 60 days) specifically highlighting people who don't show up all-time rep.
This is starting to feel overly complicated perhaps? At some point it just should become a karma system if you're gonna implement some opaque algorithm. Ship on consecutive days, karma goes up by 0.2 or something science-y.
