Ease access to CFF contribution statistics about community

[chipchilders]

Hopefully I answered all of your questions @gberche-orange ... I'm going to close this issue now, but let me know if there is something specific that's outstanding with it!

Is this useful? https://cloudfoundry.biterg.io/app/kibana#/dashboard/Overview

Also take a look at the LFX Insights page for CF (DATA NOT CONSIDERED READY): https://insights.lfx.linuxfoundation.org/projects/cloud-foundry%2Fcloud-foundry/dashboard

One of our challenges is that the paired programming model necessitates sometimes "splitting" commit attribution amongst two or more people. That was implemented for the CFF by Bitergia a few years ago. As the project progresses, this may or may not remain an issue... but we are assuming that pairing will continue (and is obviously of historical significance). We worked with the LFX Insights team on this feature over the last year, and are starting to validate the data that they are pulling in. That work is not done yet.

We can support whatever the technical community would prefer long term, so this is a great discussion to have!

Thanks @chipchilders, this dataset is pretty useful!

Was it shared with the community a long time ago (sorry if I had missed the announcement)?

The dataset seemed accurate to me regarding my company (Orange) including my own contributions.

Some feedback of potential improvements (besides paired commit issue you mentionned) covering use-cases I did manage to cover in the tool:

• support qualitative analysis: enable drilldown to actual data in dashboards: e.g. PR/issue/email URL/Subject
• monitor responsiveness to community contributions (PR and issues),
  • PR Time to Engagment
  • PR Time to Approve and Merge
  • Issues without comments/responses (excluding automated response such as cla bot and pivotal tracker bots)
  • Time to Issue comments/responses (excluding automated response such as cla bot and pivotal tracker bots)

@gberche-orange - Thanks for the feedback!

The bitergia dashboard was put in place back in 2015, so that was a long time ago. :) We don't highlight it much, because vanity statistics are always an apples to oranges comparison. We also deemphasized it when the community started getting flooded with very low value PRs in an attempt to game the system.

The LFX Insights page / dashboard will get more promotion once we are comfortable with the data and features there, including adding it on the main cloudfoundry.org website. It's still early, so no... no community "announcement" about it yet. I'll make one when I'm satisfied enough with the quality (sometime early 2021) and when we have incorporated it into cloudfoundry.org.

For your specific needs, here are some Bitergia pages that might help... we will work with the LFX team to have similar stats. FWIW, CNCF is also working with LFX to implement many of the most commonly used features of devstats.

• Drilldown - You can drill into the PR's in the dashboards below
• PR Responsiveness
• Backlog
• Timing
• Efficiency
