What are the statistics for volunteer contribution before and after Gerrit?
Has anyone kept track of such numbers?
I believe, although I may not be correct, Sumana requested these a while
back and has been looking at them... I'm not sure if it covers (new)
volunteer contributors or not. I think one thing that if it isn't a
positive statistic is that from my point of view is that the volunteer
contributors that we're out there in the SVN days and the ones that
actually committed regularly have not yet learnt or are not as willing
to relearn how to contribute... I know from some small experiences a few
that are unhappy or unwilling that they have to relearn things.
I understood making volunteer contribution easier was one of the
attractions of Gerrit ...
That, or Git, or the whole new workflow I assume, but who perhaps does
this make it easier for? I suppose its easier especially for the people
on the WMF side, since there is no more "submit patches and have them
reviewed before you get commit" and its more get commit access, and then
have your patches reviewed without them potentially breaking things.
