I don't understand what that is trying to say. Analysis by number of posts by year highlights people who make frequent small contributions to the mailing list over many months. Calling such people activists (if that's what the above means) is inaccurate: I suggest that an activist posting pattern would be proportional to the total traffic volume because activists send long emails commenting on everything, whether on-topic or not (a mistake I made when I first subscribed to participate in the FDL discussions). I suspect analysis by month and by volume would be more illuminating. I took a look at the code, but there's not much explanation. Is it possible to add volumes in an easy way?

Yet another list statistics for debian-legal
Hi, as you can read in my lightning talk at DebConf http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/200808_lightning/ I did some investigation on who is frequently posting on our mailing lists. I now created graphs until end of last year and write a short summary for those lists I regard worth a comment. I'm not CCed to all of this list so if you want to discuss something please keep me in CC. If you want to discuss the results in general just write to debian-project. All graphs and the code that was used to create the graphs are available at http://people.debian.org/~tille/liststats/ If you are interested in a mailing list which was not analysed, just tell me. I was running the scripts on those lists I personally had some interest and those with more than 1000 subscribers. I plan to clean up code and write some doc about it but this will not happen in the next couple of weeks. The graph for this specific list is --- start of mailing list specific part -- http://people.debian.org/~tille/liststats/authorstat_legal.pdf The quite often observed wave-shaped pattern and only a view activists left to discuss legal problems.
