Hi, as you can read in my lightning talk at DebConf
http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/200808_lightning/ I did some investigation on who is frequently posting on our mailing lists. I now created graphs until end of last year and write a short summary for those lists I regard worth a comment. I'm not CCed to all of this list so if you want to discuss something please keep me in CC. If you want to discuss the results in general just write to debian-project. All graphs and the code that was used to create the graphs are available at http://people.debian.org/~tille/liststats/ If you are interested in a mailing list which was not analysed, just tell me. I was running the scripts on those lists I personally had some interest and those with more than 1000 subscribers. I plan to clean up code and write some doc about it but this will not happen in the next couple of weeks. The graph for this specific list is ------- <start of mailing list specific part> ------ http://people.debian.org/~tille/liststats/authorstat_kernel.pdf Another poster who crossed the 1000 postings per year limit: # SELECT author, sum(count) FROM (SELECT author, yearmonth, count(*) from listarchive where (author like 'Ian Jackson%' and project = 'devel' and EXTRACT(YEAR FROM yearmonth) = 1996 ) or (author = 'Christian Perrier' and project = 'i18n' and EXTRACT(YEAR FROM yearmonth) = 2008 ) or (author = 'Horms' and project = 'kernel' and EXTRACT(YEAR FROM yearmonth) = 2005 ) group by author, yearmonth) AS tmp group by author order by sum desc; author | sum -------------------+------ Ian Jackson | 1317 Christian Perrier | 1258 Horms | 1156 (3 rows) The good news is that after Horms vanished from this list Maximilian Attems took over the very active role but somehow I feel that this list needs more love. Thanks for working on kernel issues! Kind regards Andreas -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
