Honestly, I think this misses the entire point. These are really more 
"rah rah" kinds of stats, and not the kind of useful reports that a core 
reviewer wants out of the gerrit data.

Whatever the answer is, it should be written in a language that the PTLs 
are fluent in, because they are definitely going to want to tweak these 
algorithms over time. And if it's more than one person's private 
scripts, it should be something that's up on 
http://github.com/openstack-infra so that it's subject to the same kind 
gerrit review flow and collaboration.
