Vondra: PostgreSQL development activity
PostgreSQL contributor Tomas Vondra has published a blogpost looking at development activity in the project, with data from the late1990s to today.
We're doing ~50 commits per week, give or take. In ~2010 we were doing maybe25/week, and the trend seems to be a slow and consistent growth. The monthlyaverage makes the trend a bit easier to spot. Which is good, although there's alot of other important details (size of commits, are they new features or fixes,...).
It however nicely aligns with the number of active committers, which alsogrew ~2x between 2010 and today. So maybe that's working as expected.
