A New Pull Request Processing Time Record
We have a new record average time to process a pull request: 21 days!
Part of my job is following (and trying to improve of course) some key metrics about MariaDB Server pull request processing. As a part of that I compile a nice pull request metric and a graph of it. This is what it looked like for the last month:
There’s a single number that caught my attention: 21.05 ! This is a new record low! That’s how […]

MariaDB Onwards and Upwards in September 2025
The MariaDB open source project keeps growing! The amount of unique external contributors to the MariaDB project is at an all time high, as well as Docker image downloads – just to mention two metrics from the 23 metrics that the MariaDB Adoption Index combines.
There is no single number to represent the success of an open source project, so we combined 23 weighted metrics to a monthly index. The index is as neutral as possible: no comparisons to other […]

MariaDB Contribution Statistics, January 2025
Here comes the Q4 2024 contributions report. The raw data which contains also statistics until today can be found on GitHub, here.
Server contributions
Just like last quarter, I’m going to start with a breakdown of all the organisations who have contributed to MariaDB Server during 2024.
We can see some new names compared to the Q3 2024 report, with contributions from CloudLinux, NetBSD and Workato.
And now, compared to last year, we can see a uptick in number of […]

MariaDB Contribution Statistics, October 2024
Another quarter year has gone by, and in the world of MariaDB, it is time for another contributions report. The raw data for this report can be found on GitHub, here.
Server contributions
Just like last quarter, I’m going to start with a breakdown of all the organisations who have contributed to MariaDB Server so far this year.
There have been some interesting things to note here. The first is that Google Summer of Code season has now ended. Some […]

MariaDB Contribution Statistics, April 2024
With the first quarter of 2024 out of the way, we can take a look at the contribution statistics for the last three months. For the Foundation, this has been a very busy quarter, we have had a few big events to prepare for and attend. As well as two very large projects we are working on (Catalogs and vector indexing). This has meant that it has been difficult for us to keep up with all the wonderful contributions.
That […]

MariaDB Contribution Statistics, January 2024
It is the start of a new year, and with that brings the start of a new quarter, which means it is time for a contribution statistics update from us. I have lots of interesting data to walk you through this time, so let’s get started.
Year On Year Comparison
A good place to start would be to compare the previous year gone by with last year to see how we did. This table shows the number of organisations, contributors […]

MariaDB Contribution Statistics, October 2023
We are in October, which means it has been 4 months since the last metrics report. It is, therefore, time for another quarterly metrics report (plus a bit more). The extra month was to allow for an announcement which is a prerequisite for this post, and it also means we are more or less aligned to real quarters. The major changes to this will come in the second half of this post, we have lots of additional data for pull […]

Meaningful Response Metrics
There was a recent request by Eric Herman, the Chairperson of the MariaDB Foundation board, to add the time to first meaningful response for pull requests to the quarterly contributor metrics I generate and blog about. I thought this was a really good idea. There are a few problems with this, the first being the definition of “meaningful response”.
Meaningful Response
A “meaningful response” would likely be a response that adds value and shows that the pull request is being […]
