As Jeremy clarified, this is wrong.

That said, we probably still miss some attribution there because we count "committers" only by looking at the "author" of a change. If backports are cherry-picked and therefore retain the author then the new owner is not *counted* as a new contributor. I highlight that the scope of Activity Board is not to create vanity charts but only to highlight trends that are useful to understand the health of the community. It never had any intention to be precise because 100% precision is hard. That said, I'm adding the metrics tag because if there is a way to add owners of back-ports to the count of contributors to OpenStack that'd be good. And if we want to improve the number of contributors to stable release, we may even create a new panel to show such trend. Do you agree we need to look in detail, separately to contributors to stable and to trunk instead of one blob? /stef __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
