The nature of many long running projects is that even though the committer count increases, some also become inactive.
A better activity metric would be to look at who is involved in release management, who is resolving issues or the commit stats on github etc. And as Neil already alluded to if you use the platform you should probably also get involved in some form. Test release candidates with your product, help with doc, try to resolve issues etc - there are many ways. -mbien > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
