Just so it is crystal clear: I am neither looking for a quota, nor do I
have specific pet projects I want to see graduate. I simply view the
current backlog as unhealthy.
Just for fun, I wrote a silly little script, attached below. It
computes two types of averages for projects currently in incubation.
The current results are as follows:
mean: 468
median: 323
It is probably fair to assume that most projects currently in
incubation, on average, are about half way through. Numbers exceeding a
year wouldn't surprise me for mega-efforts like Harmony, but
realistically how many projects are of that size?
