Subject: [ANN] netdev development stats for 6.13

Intro
-----

As is tradition here are the development statistics based on mailing
list traffic on netdev@...r.

These stats are somewhat like LWN stats: https://lwn.net/Articles/956765/
but more focused on mailing list participation. And by participation
we mean reviewing code more than producing patches.

Previous stats (for 6.12): https://lore.kernel.org/20240922190125.24697d06@kernel.org

General stats
-------------

The cycles was about 10% busier than the previous one, in terms of 
messages on the list (293 msg/day, +9.0% from 6.12) and applied 
commits (21 commits/day, +9.8%). There was also 10% more people
emailing list list.

Fraction of reviewed commits (by counting git tags) went down
by 1% to 70%, while the fraction of commits reviewed by people
with a different email domain moved up 2% to 60%.

The increase in traffic is entirely expected as the previous cycle
overlapped with summer vacations. Next cycle will likely go down again,
due to winter festivities...

Testing
-------

We merged a similar number of changes for selftests as in previous
cycle (102). Since we merged more commits - this is a proportional
decrease. It's not what I hoped for, but subjectively I think there
is a clear increase in the number of reviewers asking for selftests
to be added or extended with new code or fixes. So it _feels_ like
the shift towards more structured testing is happening.

The enabling CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST in our CI caused a regression
in the number of ignored tests. We are ignoring 11 tests up from
8 in 6.12. The fixes are WIP so I'm not too concerned.

The ranking of people who contributed most to selftests:

Contributions to selftests:
   1 [ 20] Petr Machata
   2 [ 12] Stanislav Fomichev
   3 [  8] Jakub Kicinski
   4 [  5] Sabrina Dubroca
   5 [  4] Yunsheng Lin
   6 [  4] Hangbin Liu
   7 [  3] Mohan Prasad J
   8 [  3] Edward Cree
   9 [  3] Breno Leitao
  10 [  3] Paolo Abeni

Notably Petr added a form of "defer" for bash scripts.

A lot of familiar names in the top 15 reviewers. Quite a few names
reappearing after a period of lower activity, the returns are greatly
appreciated. Kalesh and Vadim may be appearing here for the first time,
focusing on general driver reviews. Frank Li has been reviewing mostly
NXP ENETC patches, which were so numerous they were enough to earn 
the 15th position :)

Big thanks to all the reviewers for their invaluable work!

No surprises for top authors. Rosen Penev has been posting driver "updates"
to convert them to newer APIs. Kuniyuki is pushing forward with rtnl lock
breakup. Joe added NAPI netlink support to a lot of drivers.

As a reminder - the "scores" are a measure of patches posted vs reviewed.
The positive side is self-explanatory, on the right side we have some
folks who are revising big patch sets and performing conversions.
While slightly negative scores are likely okay, I hope that those with
negative scores will reflect on their contributions.
