I haven't read it yet though. No, the "central contributor" was what Gentoo would term a "bug wrangler", and the performance metrics given are related to how bugs are handled. The paper shows that there is a correlation between running various graph metrics on bugzilla, and who is doing the bug wrangling. It's not looking at commits, changes, delivered features or anything like that. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/=eK2aARA7doNORuZhDnzAx8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlEw3pQACgkQ96zL6DUtXhG2NQCg0yOFaSQQrAZK8Rj4GpSRO8xH YGgAn2D61eseUQ4hLVZaRalgPWUFae8J =vWuK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/=eK2aARA7doNORuZhDnzAx8--
