The Rising Tide of Community Contributions to MariaDB Server
I wanted to share with you all some statistics on the incoming community contributions for the MariaDB server in the last year or so. And some of my thoughts looking at the data.
I’ve been quietly working on scripting some of my daily routines using the github CLI and the Jira REST API. Thanks to a question by Anna, the visionary MariaDB Foundation CEO, I’ve also created some scripts to fetch and summarize statistics on the incoming community contributions pull […]

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 […]

MariaDB Contribution Statistics, June 2023
We are well into 2023 now, the time has really flown. There have already been two major versions of MariaDB Server that have reach GA, and with those, many new contributions. As with each quarterly metrics release, the raw data is available in our metrics repo, along with the scripts and configurations to generate it yourself.
Project Tracking
We are tracking multiple MariaDB related projects at the moment, many of which are pulled in when you build MariaDB Server. These […]
