Thoughts and comments are really welcomed!
Thank you!
In general:
The scope of these KPIs are the projects deployed in Wikimedia projects, which is a subset from all the repos hosted at gerrit.wikimedia.org. You need that list from us, and that list needs to be public so anyone can verify it and report missing / wrong repos. How should we do this? https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53374
About Who contributes code:
Currently the organizations seem to be deduced by the email address used for the commits. However, this is not enough. Gmail is not an organization, WMF devs may use personal emails, etc. Having a first ranking of people would help addressing this problems starting with the most active contributors, to get quicker into sensible metrics.
However, we must find a way to avoid making lists of email addresses in wiki pages. Those addresses are public already, yes, but lets not make things too easy for spammers.
I cant wait to start discussing the Gerrit queue stats, but let's focus first on the points above (or let's have a look to those numbers based on repositories to see who are the ones growing the queue). It is bad that the queue is growing so fast in the past months, but how bad it is will depend on the numbers based on the projects deployed in Wikimedia servers, aka supported by the WMF.
