And the rankings are relative to the 78 other extremely-high-activity projects tracked by this tool. The only two projects that have more PRs merged per month are the Homebrew project repos — but their PR numbers are so ridiculously higher than all other projects that they’re essentially in a class by themselves. https://flagged.apple.com:443/proxy?t2=Dn8r7N4Mi7&o=aHR0cHM6Ly9naXQtcHVsc2UuZ2l0aHViLmlvL3NuYXBzaG90cy9XZWJLaXQtV2ViS2l0LTIwMjQtMDUtMjYtcHVsc2UuaHRtbA==&emid=68194e83-fac4-4a41-8a1a-dcc8889dabe5&c=11 is a report that has the specific per-month numbers (rather than just averages) for the project — along with some charts of the data. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Caveat: I created the tool used for generating all this stuff, and you can find the source at https://github.com/git-pulse/tools — and if you want to, you can run it yourself locally in your WebKit repo, like this: curl -fsSLO https://flagged.apple.com:443/proxy?t2=Dr0E2z4Bg4&o=aHR0cHM6Ly9naXQtcHVsc2UuZ2l0aHViLmlvL3Rvb2xzL2dpdC1wdWxzZQ==&emid=68194e83-fac4-4a41-8a1a-dcc8889dabe5&c=11 && bash ./git-pulse (That generates output to the shell/terminal while it’s running, and then generates HTML output when it’s done. And due to GitHub API throttling, it takes a while — maybe 5 minutes or more — to run to completion.) Caveat: In general the numbers this tool ends up generating seem accurate — but I’m not a statistician and there may be some bugs in calculations I have it using to generate its numbers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- And finally, some maybe-not-as-good metrics that stand out: - open PRs: 946 (2nd highest) - rate at which number of open PRs is increasing: 33 per month (#1 highest) The only other project with more open PRs is the Web Platform Tests (WPT) project — and statistically speaking, it’s almost the same: 957. And beyond the fact that the rate at which the number of open PRs for the WebKit project is highest among all 78 projects tracked by this tool — it’s also increasing at nearly _twice_ the rate as the project with the next-highest rate of increase (which is “only” 17 per month). Among all the projects tracked, the _average_ rate of increase in open PRs each month is zero — and almost 20 of the other projects actually have a _decrease_ in the number of open PRs per month. The WPT project — which has the highest number of open PRs — actually also has the highest decrease in open PRs per month: It’s closing 15 more PRs per month than are being opened each month — vs the WebKit project gaining 33 new PRs per month (and over the last year, gaining 429 unclosed PRs in total). I’m not stating those numbers as any kind of criticism or sign of anything that necessarily needs fixing — I’m just noting how much those numbers stand out relative to those of some other projects. And again, see the caveat above: I’m not a statistician — and to the degree that any of these numbers actually mean anything at all, I’m anyway personally not qualified to offer any useful analysis on them from any kind of actually-informed point of view. -- https://flagged.apple.com:443/proxy?t2=DU2A5t8QM4&o=aHR0cHM6Ly9zaWRlc2hvd2Jhcmtlci5uZXQ=&emid=68194e83-fac4-4a41-8a1a-dcc8889dabe5&c=11/ _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://flagged.apple.com:443/proxy?t2=Dp8a6v3PP3&o=aHR0cHM6Ly9saXN0cy53ZWJraXQub3JnL21haWxtYW4vbGlzdGluZm8vd2Via2l0LWRldg==&emid=68194e83-fac4-4a41-8a1a
