I agree with you that these stats may not be the kind of reports useful 
for a reviewer (I can't parse 'rah rah' though). I brought them up 
because in the Activity Board it's possible to show context, which is 
not possible in the scripts running on status.openstack.org. For 
example, on Activity Board it is possible not just to show the trends 
and raw numbers, but also show information about one singular changeset 
and the bug(s) it fixes and also drill down to the authors/reviewers and 
see what she's been up to recently. It also allow to search for similar 
changes, reviews, etc.

I think I understand what you mean and I agree with you. FYI wikidsmart 
database can be queried with standard sparql syntax and MetricsGrimoire 
can be queried in sql and python. Both projects have published the code:

The idea is to put the whole activity board inside openstack-infra. In 
order for that to happen, we need to remove the dependency on 
Confluence: it seems that there is demand for more/better reporting, so 
now it's just a matter of evaluating the costs and do it. I hope to get 
back to this list soon with news.
