GURPS has these rules, but they are complex and would be way too much for core TFT, in my opinion.

For reputation, I'd just use a contest vs "the room". The GM would base the crowd's response on well you did.
Also, reputation involves more than just doing deeds. You have to make sure people talk you up -- The Name of the Wind has numerous examples of this, Kvothe is super competent but he's also a public relations expert.
This is why I listed Reputation as a category for talents. You get mechanical benefits in reputation contests but to make and maintain a reputation you have to invest time and effort, i.e. XP.
