Hi, out of vanity and curiosity, I generated some stats from UDD:
Most uploads last year by package maintainer:
maintainer | c
----------------------------------+------
Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-mai | 1814
Debian Haskell Group <pkg-haske | 1520
Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers | 604
Debian Multimedia Maintainers | 597
Debian GNOME Maintainers | 581
Most uploads last year by who prepared the upload:
changed_by | c
----------------------------------------+-----
Joachim Breitner <[email protected]> | 814
gregor herrmann <[email protected]> | 655
Clint Adams <[email protected]> | 586
Michael Biebl <[email protected]> | 522
Christian Perrier <[email protected]> | 480
Most uploads last year by who did the signing and uploading:
signed_by | c
--------------------------------------------------+------
gregor herrmann <[email protected]> | 1107
Joachim Breitner <[email protected]> | 828
Daniel Baumann <[email protected]> | 632
Clint Adams (GNU) <[email protected]> | 597
Michael Biebl <[email protected]> | 551
Same for the two last years:
maintainer | c
--------------------------------+------
Debian Perl Group | 4467
Debian Haskell Group | 2708
Debian Java Maintainers | 1542
Debian Multimedia Maintainers | 1325
Debian Med Packaging Team | 1187
changed_by | c
---------------------------------------+------
gregor herrmann <[email protected]> | 1531
Joachim Breitner <[email protected]> | 1300
Clint Adams <[email protected]> | 1190
Michael Biebl <[email protected]> | 1128
Alessio Treglia <[email protected]> | 1065
signed_by | c
--------------------------------------------------+------
gregor herrmann <[email protected]> | 2918
Joachim Breitner <[email protected]> | 1354
Clint Adams (GNU) <[email protected]> | 1236
Michael Biebl <[email protected]> | 1184
Daniel Baumann <[email protected]> | 998
So we are definitely one of the most active teams, only surpassed by the
Perl Group¹. Gregor Herrmann is a workhorse (kudos to him). But what
about manpower? Number of people preparing uploads per team, over the
last year:

Debian QA Group <[email protected]>

Debian Python Modules Team <[email protected]>
| 66
Debian Games Team <[email protected]>

Debian Science Maintainers
<[email protected]> | 53
Debian Med Packaging Team <[email protected]>
| 47
Debian Ruby Extras Maintainers
<[email protected]> | 41
Debian Multimedia Maintainers
<[email protected]> | 39

Debian Mozilla Extension Maintainers

Debian Fonts Task Force <[email protected]>

Debian GIS Project <[email protected]>
| 15
IME Packaging Team <[email protected]>
| 15
Debian Haskell Group <[email protected]>

Matthias Klose <[email protected]>
| 14
so lots of teams have more manpower than us (c = number of unique
changed_by entries). What about uploading power (signed_by)?

Also not lots of teams do better here. Who are these 12, and how is the
load distributed:

Hector Oron Martinez (zumbi) <[email protected]> | 1
What conclusions can we draw from it?
* We are one of the most active teams (probably due to the high
volatility of Haskell libraries, and many uploads for just
dependency bumps).
* We are understaffed compared to the other teams. That we still
do good is a sign that we have built a good infrastructure and
benefit from very homogenous upstream packages.
* Our work is not evenly distributed, with Clint (thanks a lot!)
and me doing most uploading work. One reason might be that due
to the tools we have, including some of the new mass-* scripts
in the tool repos, it is actually possible for us two to do most
of the work. And since we do the work, others don’t feel obliged
to do more of it. But this is not very healthy, e.g. when Clint
or me (or both) for some reason have to stop working on DHG.
Further conclusions welcome; this was just a spontaneous time-killing
idea.
Greetings,
Joachim
¹ Which I co-founded and helped building some of the infrastructure and
policy that allowed mass-maintaining – I consider this my biggest
contribution to Debian.
