Are you aware of teammetrics [1]? Here's the output [2] of the latest run. Interestingly, this was a GSoC project as well. Anyway, does this project intend to achieve something similar to (or same as) teammetrics itself or is the goal something different here? As of now, to me, to me it sounds like (mostly) re-inventing the wheel.

Only asking this out of curiosity. Best, Nilesh
