I think we've never had annual statistics to praise the people writing
and editing code? Let's try.
(Though many areas and people are missing and data might have bugs.)

For more info, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics
(and its talk page for anything related to wikimedia.biterg.io itself).
There are more potential statistics (Github repositories [3], Gerrit
reviewers [4], Module editors, etc.) that could be interesting - if
someone has ideas how to get such data [5].
Cheers,

[1] by pulling the sitematrix and getting the authors of the revisions
of all MediaWiki:Gadget-* and MediaWiki:Common.js pages per site via
https://gitlab.com/aklapper/wikimedia-wikis-gadget-editor-stats/
(which welcomes an actual developer to write this in a proper language)

"Submitters" panel, after setting "author_bot:false" in the search
field and setting the time frame in the upper right corner.
