Subject: [ANN] netdev development stats for 6.15
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/1004998/
but more focused on mailing list participation. And by participation
we mean reviewing code more than producing patches.
Previous 3 reports:
- for 6.11: https://lore.kernel.org/20240722142243.26b9457f@kernel.org
- for 6.12: https://lore.kernel.org/20240922190125.24697d06@kernel.org
- for 6.13: https://lore.kernel.org/20241119191608.514ea226@kernel.org
- for 6.14: https://lore.kernel.org/20250121200710.19126f7d@kernel.org
General stats
-------------
The 6.14 cycle included the winter break so for general stats let's
compare to 6.13. 6.15 merge window over all is +7.6% larger (total
linux-next size) than 6.13. We merged 1443 commits, which is +9.4%
compared to 6.13, and +1.7% if we discount the linux-next size growth.
The number of "pure authors" on the list dropped from 392 to 309.
The number of full participants (both submitting and commenting
on other people's patches) remained around 170.
Review coverage increased slightly (+0.4%). The number of revisions
of each patch set decreased slightly.
Testing
-------
Testing infra is stable, we have a regression in TDC due to iproute2
changes but that's hopefully to be addressed soon.
The major time investment in terms of testing this release was
the addition of the "HW branch stream". A stream of branches
to be tested on HW setups, consisting only of patches which successfully
passed SW testing, and at a lower rate (one every 8 hours).
This has been in the plans for over a year, but the final push came
from Collabora which prepared a runner for NVMe-over-TCP testing.
HW testing is a bit more tricky than SW testing, as we can't expect
all tests to pass on all setups. As such we track test cases, and
only consider those which have passed in the past at least 15 times
in a row. We are now running all driver tests against virtio.

None of this is impressive but it took a solid week of plumbing :)

The ranking comparison to 6.13 may also be clearer as much of the movement
here is folks returning to their usual positions. Stanislav and Rob register
the highest jump. Stanislav worked on netdev locking and ZC TCP, but also
helped revive NIPA a few times. Rob is the device tree maintainer.
Joe climbed in 6.13 and moves further up in 6.14.
Thank you all very much for your invaluable work!
