Description

blocked bug

@lukaszgryglicki has regenerated our database as of ~15 minutes ago, so this data is as fresh as it comes.

The companies table reports the top 5 contributors to Istio in the last 12 months as:

Rank Company Contributions
1 Google LLC 12738
2 Solo.io 8402
3 DaoCloud Network Technology Co. Ltd. 8229
4 International Business Machines Corporation 7461
5 Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd 6593

However, if one exports the data from the Developer activity counts by company view for the same period, the summation is this:

Rank Company Contributions
1 Google LLC 12615
2 Solo.io 8605
3 DaoCloud Network Technology Co. Ltd. 7936
4 International Business Machines Corporation 7509
5 Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd 6605

Note how some companies show fewer contributions in the second list, and some have more.

Istio uses this data as part of its governance process, and last week, the order of the top 5 results shown here actually differed depending on which metric you used.

Can you help us understand why these values are different?
