Nice ones, Monty, thanks. Do you think this is a report worth seeing at 
regular intervals, at each milestone for example and at release time?

Sweet! Thank you

Not one single number has meanings by itself but only acquires a meaning 
inside a story. If you look at count of commits together with the number 
of bugs closed over time, so you can see trends, for example, you may 
have an idea of how much effort goes into stabilization vs new features. 
Looking at commits and lines of code added/removed can also help 
understand where the development effort is going. Or at least the 
numbers will seem to tell something and force you to want to dive deeper.

Yes, we've hired them also to get a full self service dashboard updated 
regularly (daily). It will go together with the Insights provided by 
wikidsmart on the OpenStack Community Activity Board. Stay tuned for an 
announcement early next week, with a link to the beta site and add this 
session to your calendar while you're at it:

Thanks for all the work, Mark. Git-dm has been a source of data also for 
Bitergia, to double-check and reconciliate people-company affiliation 
while the Foundation improves its membership database.

cheers,
