Subject: [ANN] netdev development stats for 6.3

Hi!

Here are the stats for the last release cycle: based on 15,383 emails
netdev has seen since Dec 15th, over 68 days (226 msgs / day).

Roughly 55% of the patches merged had a review tag (4% of which were
exclusively from the same email domain as the author). This means
an increase of 7% compared to the previous cycle (from 48%).

When comparing the stats note the fluctuation in total number of
messages (6.2 cycle had roughly 3k more messages).

Simon (and Olek) were noticeably more active in this release cycle.
Russell has dropped out (he mentioned battling COVID).

Vladimir claims the top author spot continuing work on TSN (taprio, 
mqprio, MAC Merge uAPI and driver support).

Stephen Rothwell takes spot number 5, meaning we must have had 27
merge conflicts, lets try to have fewer conflicts going forward...

As for "scores" which are supposed to point out who doesn't help 
with reviewing (10 * reviews - 3 * authorship):

Top 10 scores (positive):             Top 10 scores (negative):

Lorenzo, Paul and Oleksij author much more than they review :)
Although in all fairness most folks on the list are there due
to reving the same series rather than generating a lot of code.

Interestingly the flow of semi-automated trivial patches seem 
to have slowed down significantly (authors of those previously
occupied most of the top 5 spots).


As for the corporate stats:

Top 7 reviewers (thr):                Top 7 reviewers (msg):
   1. [340] Meta                        1. [623] Meta
   2. [210] Intel                       2. [463] Intel
   3. [191] nVidia                      3. [439] RedHat
   4. [178] RedHat                      4. [437] nVidia
   5. [125] Google                      5. [238] Corigine
   6. [120] Corigine                    6. [234] Andrew Lunn
   7. [104] Andrew Lunn                 7. [225] Google

Intel takes the #2 spot from nVidia. Corigine makes an appearance 
thanks to Simon's work.

   9. [ 741] Oracle
  10. [ 504] Kalle Valo
  11. [ 498] Rob Herring
  12. [ 489] Broadcom

Positive scores mostly match the review ranking (with RedHat jumping
to #3, given nVidia's large patch volume). As mentioned bots have
mostly disappeared in this release cycle, Marvell and Alibaba are 
the top "net negative" contributors in terms of reviews. Microchip 
has dropped off the negative list.
