Hi David, Thanks for this. Yes.
Let's assume the 2020-2021 time filter is in place. Mariusz recently picked up James' PR to add the list of Core Contributors (back) to the website, which is/was part of the DEP 10 governance changes. https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/pull/1099 The hope is that the DSF Board will approve that in their next meeting, and we can get it live. With hindsight we perhaps could have moved quicker but, the idea was to move on from there to recognise current and new contributors on a more ongoing basis too. So... my hope was to probably do something per-major release — so 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, etc. (Maybe we could do it every month but...) * Who were the contributors? * Who were the new contributors?(Special callout) * Who was on the Triage and Review team? ('cause it ain't just code) * And, can we identify other folks to call out...? (T&R team was an attempt to capture participation here.) I think Simon's github-to-sqlite tool is a good candidate. Some others I've collected whilst this has been bubbling on the low-ring: * Katie McLaughlin provided some git log pointers https://glasnt.com/blog/script-o-hatrack/ * See also https://github.com/LABHR/octohatrack * GitHub built this based on Simon's ideas: https://octo.github.com/projects/flat-data * "A git query language" https://github.com/filhodanuvem/gitql * "git quick stats" https://github.com/arzzen/git-quick-stats I think there's plenty of tooling there to show how to get the info we want. At a guess it's a couple of evenings exploring, and then pulling it into a report. I think if we were to do something along these lines, starting a new tradition, for Django 4.0 in December, that would be really great. I'm not sure as yet on the exact format to present all that. The blog post for the _Final_ versions could say more without too much difficulty. (e.g. https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2021/apr/06/django-32-released/ ) Kind Regards, Carlton On Tuesday, 29 June 2021 at 21:35:16 UTC+2 smi...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi all, > > I've had this sat in my drafts for a while.
