Hey Siebrand,
I prefer to keep the data collection as simple as possible. One way of fixing this issue
is as follows:
1) Go to
http://gerrit-stats.wmflabs.org/graphs/mediawiki/edit
2) Click on 'Options'
3) Click on 'Advanced' (right side of screen)
4) Click on 'rollPeriod' (bottom of screen, yellow box)
5) This allows to create a moving average, so you can replace the 1 with 7 meaning that
each datapoint is the average of the past 7 days. This option applies to both metrics but
it really smooths out the outliers.
If you want to save this then please use another slug name (click on 'Info') and
replace 'slug' and then click 'Save' else you will have changed
Robla's original chart.
Best,
D
