Tilman, this is great.  I find myself enjoying the stats/graphs and analysis/commentary equally and so far I don't see anything that isn't very helpful.  Two considerations:

  • On a related note, so far the weekly cadence is great.  It might also be that after 3 weeks we realize that a biweekly or monthly cadence is all we really need.
Yes, that's been on my mind too - we should loop you into existing conversations about the cadence. My thinking was that to keep such a report worthwhile reading, it should offer some interpretation and context, and I also think there is value in regularly nudging us to examine the data for the impact of unusual events or regressions.

At some point, we will have to solidify this so that we can automate some/most of it.  Perhaps we should chat offline about what your tolerance is in that regard.  
 
Indeed, as noted in the very first announcement and the earlier Phabricator task, dashboarding most of these is the goal. Looking into options currently. Then again we wanted to keep it flexible at first, and open to feedback - no use building a dashboard for metrics that people tell us they don't find useful. Fortunately, based on the reactions so far, that doesn't seem to be the case.
