• Review of key metrics including the monthly report card, but also

specialized reports and analytics

Erik, are any new metrics being added to support the Halfaker recommendations to "build tools that aid in identifying and supporting desirable newcomers" from http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~halfak/publications/The_Rise_and_Decline ?

In particular, are you willing to measure the number of users who have added a "<ref" tag in article space but have empty talk pages? That seems like the easiest query to start out with for now and refine later -- maybe two such tag adds would be better, and there is probably a much better way to measure talk page activity, i.e. exclude warning templates, or even all template messages. It's fairly easy for me to find such users non-exhaustively, but without SQL access it's difficult to find them all or measure their numbers and trend over time.

Or better yet, could you please add that query to the Teahouse invitation worklist report? Their current criteria of 10 edits is a lot less meaningful. An editor who has figured out the ref tag but only made five edits is worth far more than one who's made 10 formatting changes.
