So, 92 unique committers in June. Which is way better
than Ohloh has
been saying, yay.
I'd like to confirm that number, 92 unique contributors in June is
absolutely correct. I've also scriptified my method, so now I can do
multiple months.
Month | Unique contributors
------------+--------------------
July so far | 60
------------+--------------------
June | 92
------------+--------------------
May | 77
------------+--------------------
April | 67
------------+--------------------
March | 34
------------+--------------------
February | 2
A note or two: July is high because we have a lot of regular committers,
I suppose. You could confirm that by graphing how many contributors are
added by adding on one day at a time. My guess is you'll get a nice
steep line at first that tapers out to nearly 0 at the end of 30 days.
Also, I'm sure the earlier months have inadequate sample sizes to be
relevant, since the extensions had to take some time to transfer over,
and apparently February was just for testing.
Of course, the coolest thing is that each month so far has seen at least
10 additional contributors! :)
The script I used to generate it is attached (since it's only 1.1 kb).
If you have a sane SSH setup already, you should be able to make it
executable and do....
$ ./gerunique "ssh -p 29418 gerrit.wikimedia.org" 0d 30d
....and get the number of contributors for the past 30 days. It will
also give you some friendly notifications, though they're largely for
debugging.
The first option can be described as "how you would ssh into gerrit if
you had to", and it's provided for the convenience of those people (like
me) whose local username doesn't match their remote username.
Cheers,
