Which one?
The board does not care I am sure. I am going for short and sweet
here but
I think we had talked about a timing component and someone pointed
out that
there was an old entire project at Apache that basically already did
that
but that it was also dead or dormant.

RNG (if the next CP fixes the "japicmp" issue)
Numbers (if it gets reviews from people other than me)
I will add those but I am sure the board does not care so we could
also
omit the list.

This is highly not representative of the project's activity.
It would be more meaningful to report active members.

This is representative.
I just shows lack of growth.

All Apache committers are Commmons committers; so what?
It would be (much) more meaningful to provide the number
of people who made a commit in the last 3 months...
Something like: "x committers changed y lines of code
over z commits."[1]
Feel free to provide such stats ;-) But we all know how valuable LOC
stats
are... While those [1] numbers are fun, they tell you nothing of the
kind
of changes...
1,570
Commits this period
72
Authors this period
204,475
Lines changed this period
40
Committers this period
Those numbers are not totally accurate: "kibble"[1] is missing
the latest repositories (it would add a few lines and commits
but no authors or committers AFAICT).
> - No new committers added in the last 3 months
IMHO, this does not fit with the "healthy" qualifier.
Hm, perhaps 'moderately healthy and not currently growing' is more
accurate
though.
Don't you think there is a trend (not just "currently")?
Isn't it a sign that the number of people interested in
the latest developments is declining?
For "common" code, isn't this something to worry about?
