Re: year to date pull statistics

Another week, so another update to the pull statistics for the D-P-L dmd, runtime, and phobos repositories. There's been a bit of progress chipping away at the queue, though there's still a long way to go. The number of open phobos pulls has grown quite a bit over the last few weeks and

year to date pull statistics

A topic that rolls around periodically is the number of open pulls and or the frequency at which a pull is 'ignored' (no, it's not ignored, it's just lost in the noise). I've dug up some rate of change statistics for the year to date for pulls to the D-P-L master branches of the dmd, druntime,

Re: Waste of computing resources in pull requests that only change the ddoc

It wouldn't be very difficult to add an "ignore me please" sort of flag on pull requests, but ignoring the ddoc only change subset of pulls would only have a minor overall impact on tester coverage. By _far_, the bigger issue is the number of open pull requests as a whole. There's currently

Re: year to date pull statistics

The astute observer might notice that the past results aren't 100% constant (and that I skipped a week): 1) I had a sign flip issue for april in the delta column. That column is: closed - created. 2) some past weeks have slightly different closed counts than previous emails. That can occur
