I truly appreciate initiatives like kibble, the various reporter functions
and other stuff that work towards showing the health of projects.
Unfortunately these initiatives still have miles to go towards providing
more meaning. Showing number of tickets opened and closed is nice, but that
has been available since the availability of JIRA. Showing the number of
mails threads started (and or continued) and number of people involved is
also nice.

But what I deem more important are the various engagement factors when
talking about the health of the project, like

   - when looking at the number of subscribers per mailing list, how is the
   diversity (meaning how many PMC Members, Committers, non-privileged
   contributors and others have subscribed);
   - when looking the threads per mailing list, how is the diversity among
   the participants - and who are in the top 5/10 of each segment (again PMC
   Member, Committers, no-privileged contributors)
   - When looking at tickets and commits, again showing insights per
   diversity segments and interactions between ;


I would say all the data is there, yet very much still in silos.

Best regards,
