In the interest of gathering some metrics around growing contributors, Jie
shared with me a script that tracks how many commits each committer has
made where they were not the author of the patch. It's not perfect, but
gives a rough sense of how much effort committers are spending on patches
from non-committer contributors:
➜ mesos git:(master) ✗ git log master --pretty=format:"%an,%cn"
--after="2012-1-1" | awk -F "," '{ if ($1 != $2) print $2; }' | sort | uniq
-c | sort

You can change the date range here if you want to get a more recent
snapshot. Note of course that much like the github commit count metrics,
this doesn't capture the commits from the svn days where we didn't have
correct authorship metadata. :(
I know reviewing code from newer contributors is often hard work and can
sometimes be thankless, but it's really important. So I just wanted to
celebrate and thank all those that have helped to grow the community of
contributors so far!
If others have interesting metrics that would be good to track, please feel
free to share them.
