I was afraid it would be a privacy issue: of course the source data is
fully public and anyone could aggregate that information in this way,
but I'm not sure that when people sign a changelog entry, they intend
that information to be correlated into a sort of personal life history.

For example, I am personally upset with how Ohloh presents my publicly
accessible information: me signing public VCS commits shouldn't
automatically give someone the right to use that information to present
an arbitrary (and incorrect) public image of myself.

Given my experience with that, I took the conservative approach.

I am perfectly happy to be told that in the minechangelogs case it
really isn't an issue and stand corrected.


Ciao,

 Hello,

 I've integrated minechangelogs in nm.debian.org.

 If you are logged in with a web password (any DD can do that, not only
 AMs) then you can access https://nm.debian.org/am/minechangelogs/
 where you enter one keyword per line, press Submit and get results.

New minechangelogs interface (again)

2012-04-08 Thread Enrico Zini
Hello,

I've integrated minechangelogs in nm.debian.org.

If you are logged in with a web password (any DD can do that, not only
AMs) then you can access https://nm.debian.org/am/minechangelogs/
where you enter one keyword per line, press Submit and get results.

It now also shows information about when last indexing happened and the
newest known changelog entry, so one can tell whether someone became
inactive or the indexing process got stuck.

Also, if you are logged in, there is now a 'changelogs' link next to
the DDPO and Portfolio links, for every person in the system. That will
prefill the query textarea with some possible keywords, but most of the
times you will want to tweak them manually.

There is also a 'Download' checkbox you can tick if you want to download
the results, for example so that you can attach them to the AM report.


Ciao,

Enrico
