Can an HTML report be produced and posted instead ? It feels like that
sort of information should be pullable rather than pushed, from a
well-known website, and PDF adds an extra step to access, for no real
value (is anybody going to print this ?)

I can't really answer that question, but it looks strange to me to see
Jenkins up there (I bet he didn't author any patch).

If the reports are not pushed, they can run more often. Maybe something
like "last 30 days" (refreshed every week) and then generating a report
per-milestone (at the end of every milestone) ? I think it would be good
to know who committed code for a given milestone, rather than for a
given arbitrary month.

Maybe per-milestone would be more useful, though it's a bit more
difficult to do (especially since all projects do not follow the common
milestone plan).
