Do you know if this a gnome custom extension to bugzilla or included in upstream bugzilla? It's really helpful to see other approaches at gathering the data in order to appropriately reward top contributors. It appears that the gnome metrics capture: * how bugs come into (bugs.reporter) the world * # of comments (from longdescs.who) * how bugs leave the world (CLOSED) - not sure how gathered The data noted in John's attachment I believe is intended to provide more visibility on the different state changes a bug goes through during it's life cycle (bug_activity). How that information is interpreted likely depends on the role of the individual, the product being inspected, and the date range queried for that product. > The current formula for points (remember, this is subject to change on > the whim of the bugmasters) is: > > log_10(1 + #comments) + log_2(1 + #bugs_closed) + log_2(1 + > #bugs_reported) Using the gnome bz "points" concept (aka karma) ... can one formula work across all SIGs? Or would a tester weight it's formula differently than a kernel developer?
