Revisiting this; it doesn't seem like there's been significant progress in LFX Insights being a useful dashboard for OpenStack contributors. There is no data for reviews at all, as far as I can find, and even if it existed it would not be groupable by logical OpenStack project; only by repository. The lack of a working dashboard continues to disrupt multiple workflows both downstream and upstream. Stackalytics.io has been indicated to me as a resource some contributors are using, but it's not clear how to update that information and/or how reliable the statistics are as it's an unofficial source and frankly has a long history of being down or ill-maintained (as unofficial things do). Can we get some updates beyond just a issues filed in a github repository which has a large number of issues? Can we restore the status-quo with Bitergia? Right now we're in a broken state and I've seen no signs from leadership -- TC or Foundation -- that fixing it is a priority. Please provide an update.

Hi Jay, Sean and All,
Thank you again for providing information about your use of OpenStack community metrics.
In order to capture the community's, as well as individuals' and companies' needs, I created an etherpad with the feedback that surfaced so far in various conversations so far: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/lfx_insights_metrics_use_cases
I added use cases, wishlist items as well as questions and comments to the etherpad, along with updates where I had any. Please check and update the notes in the etherpad that are not accurate, and add any missing use case or further comments and questions.
I will use the etherpad to keep working with the LFX Insights team to understand what and when we can add to the dashboard, and how we can enable people to access raw data to use for more specialized needs. I will update the etherpad and get back on this thread as well when I have updates.
I really appreciate y'all's input and help in understanding how you've been finding value in the metrics dashboards the community has been using up until now. I also ask for your patience and understanding as we work through addressing everyone's needs with the new platform.
Please let me know what other ways I can support the community throughout this transition period.
Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó

Hi Jay,
Thank you for sharing some more details about what you are looking for in the new metrics dashboard.
With regard to affiliations, in my understanding LFX Insights is primarily using individuals' Linux Foundation account to propagate affiliation data. In that sense people will need to create/update their Linux Foundation profile to fix affiliation issues. As we've been starting migrate to more of the LF tooling, I hope that most folks already have an account and it just need to be updated in some cases.
Please allow me a little time to check in with the LFX Insights team about the other tiems to understand what we can do, how and on what timeline. I'll get back on this thread as soon as I have updates.
Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó

Hi Jay,
Thank you so much for reviewing the new dashboard and sharing your use cases and questions. It is very helpful in understanding what might still be missing from the new dashboard.
Historically LFX Insights has been more tailored towards GitHub and data that platform provides. The Gerrit-based dashboards, like the one for OpenStack, are a newer addition and in that regard some of the metrics you're asking for are not (yet) available.
I reflected on each of your question in more detail below.
Best Regards, Ildikó

I have basically three things I use this data for:
- Individual review numbers, from gerrit, indicating frequency and types of review -- preferably with the ability to compare between reviewers. This was from the gerrit dashboard in biterg (and got top-billing on the original stackalytics dashboard) and is an important aspect for evaluation of existing and new reviewers for a project. This looks like a use case that needs to be added to LFX Insights, I will need to open a GH Issue to cover it. First I would like to make sure my understanding is correct in what you need. If I got that right, you've been looking at reviewer statistics such as review types (-2, -1, 1, 2), # of reviews, and frequency of a person performing reviews. Is that accurate?
While we will not be able to recreate the Bitergia dashboard in the new tool, it would be helpful for me to visualize how you've been using it. Can you share the list of widgets that you've been continuously relying on for reviewer evaluation? "Gerrit approvals" and "Git" -- both with significant filtering. I had a bookmark on biterg, for instance, which would show me the review stats for everyone on my team at G-Research, and I could easily modify it to show me all Ironic reviewers for a comparison. Similarly with git, I would use it to track contributions from members of my team and track health of a project over time through things like company participation diversity metrics.
- Ability to easily compare contributions by company OUTSIDE of the top 5. The lack of metrics outside the top 5 is disappointing.
I assume you've been looking at the 'Organizations leaderboard' on the 'Contributors' tab. On the bottom of the widget there's an 'All organizations' label, which is a button. If you click it, it'll open up a sidebar that gives you the full list of contributing organizations. Is that what you've been looking for? This is what I was looking for .All organizations works OK; but affiliations are broken. I see both a "GR-OSS" (not an entity, just a marketing name for our group) and "G-Research". What's the process for correcting these affiliations? I'm not looking forward to asking my developers to take additional time to update a now-third place for their affiliation data.
- Ability to filter by individual OpenStack *project* (e.g. all Ironic-responsible repos; not just "ironic" the repo) for either of the two use cases above.
For this one, on the top of the dashboard where it says 'OpenStack/All repositories', the 'All repositories' text is a drop-down list. If you click on it, it'll list all repositories that are tracked by the tool for OpenStack. In the search bar you can type in 'ironic' and it'll give you all repos where the project's name is included. There are checkboxes on the left side, where you can select any or all Ironic repos to view metrics for. When you don't want the filter to be applied anymore, you can click on 'All repositories' on the top of that top-down list window to switch back to the view of entire OpenStack. Is that what you've been looking for? This is not sufficient. Ironic has nearly two-dozen repos, the majority do not contain the string "ironic" -- for instance, networking-baremetal, networking-generic-switch, or sushy. The previous tooling, when sorting for "Ironic" would find all projects under Ironic governance as declared here: https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/branch/master/reference/project...
