Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked projects health dashboard and the repository dashboard described in the issue. Determine where maintainer activity data would come from and define a page or section that reports active-maintainer counts, recent commits or merged pull requests, and average response time; done means these statistics are displayed clearly for each project.

Issue Description

https://all.devstats.cncf.io/d/53/projects-health-table?orgId=1

Currently, the repository dashboard does not provide specific statistics on active maintainers. It would be beneficial to display information about each project's number and activity of maintainers. This will help users identify projects, like etcd, that may need additional maintainer support.

Proposed Solution

  1. Develop a feature that pulls and displays data on the active maintainers for each project.
  2. Present the information in a clear and easily accessible format, such as a dedicated section within the repository dashboard or a separate tab/page.
  3. Include relevant statistics, such as the number of active maintainers, their recent activity (e.g., commits, merged PRs), and average response time to issues/PRs.

Benefits

  • Provides users with insights into the maintainer support for each project.
  • Helps identify projects needing additional maintainers to ensure continued development and support.
  • Enhances overall transparency and understanding of project health and sustainability.
