Brief..

Doubts
(Questions for Andre)

Time to get a Bitergia overview with a specific focus on topics mentioned below:

General About specific metrics Note to self:
 * For the new developers, how do we filter out the contributions made to third party repositories (as in T146135#3176718)?
 * Pulling email addresses.. Is it possible that Srishti understands this process as well? Or Srishti emails Andre 2-3 times in the month of September asking for more emails?
 * Number of commits we received and merged from new developers in the last quarter - how do we pull proposed commits that landed in Gerrit and the ones that got merged/landed in git from new developers
 * Number of new developers who actively contributed in the last quarter - (More than one commitset / patchset / contribs) etc. What is “contribs” in the C_Gerrit_Demo_Table?
 * New developers active 1 year after their first contribution - How to calculate this?
 * Figure out a way to present stats / numbers
