Apache Cassandra Go Driver (gocql)

Automated, reproducible metrics for Apache Cassandra Go Driver (gocql).

Code and contributor health metrics: sustainability, review capacity, and responsiveness — computed from Git, ASF JIRA and GitHub PR history.

Charts default to the last 3 years.

Faint points mark a month flagged low-n or insufficient data — its statistic (a rate, an HHI, a median) comes from too few underlying events to be reliable on its own. Hover a point for its exact n and flag; the value itself is unchanged.

Reviewer Capacity

Review responsiveness

How quickly a patch submission gets its first visible review response, split by how many prior submissions the same contributor has -- a first-time submitter, a 2nd-5th submission, or a 6th+ submission. A "submission" is one JIRA issue that ever reached Patch Available, together with any linked GitHub pull request. "First visible response" is the earliest of a JIRA comment, a JIRA status change to Review In Progress/Ready to Commit, or a GitHub PR review/comment, from someone other than the submission's own author -- review that happened somewhere this project doesn't track (a private message, an in-person conversation) is invisible to this section, so "no visible response" means exactly that, not "no response at all."

Methodology and caveats. The submission's author is reconstructed from JIRA's assignee-change history, which is a best-effort proxy, not a confirmed identity. Shares for "response within 7/30 days" and "no visible response" only count submissions old enough to judge (right-censoring: a submission newer than 7, 30, or 365 days is left out of that share's count entirely, not counted as a miss). These figures are informational only, shown with their own sample size (n) for context. Full definitions: METRICS.md.

Open PR backlog

The open apache/cassandra PR backlog by age and by linked-JIRA-ticket state, reconstructed monthly. Scoped to apache/cassandra: other configured repos use their own issue tracker or none, so ticket-key state isn't meaningful for them — see the table below instead.

Contributor pipeline

Two additional views of the cards above: a Kaplan–Meier survival curve over contributor tenure, and a per-stage breakdown of the latest completed first-time-contributor cohort's funnel. Both are computed from git commit history only; the committer and PMC funnel stages are not available (no confirmed identity link between the ASF roster and this project's git/JIRA identities exists yet).

Tenure survival

Cohort size (n=20) is below the 30-contributor floor for a Kaplan–Meier curve; showing a still-active count instead.

Months since first contribution Eligible Still active Share
3 20 20 100.0%
6 16 16 100.0%
12 10 10 100.0%
18 9 3 33.3%
24 2 1 50.0%

Funnel, pooled across the last 10 horizon-elapsed cohorts (Sep 2013 – May 2018, n=54)

Pooled rather than shown as a single cohort month: at this cohort size, one month's bars are noisy enough on their own to be misleading, and the 730-day observation horizon means only cohorts old enough to be fully resolved are included here (no "in flight" segment).

Contributor leaderboard

Top contributors by one activity type at a time — commits, reviews, and JIRA issues resolved — over the trailing 12 completed months (2025-10-01 to 2026-09-30). These are ranked counts of deterministic, public activity, never a blended "contribution score" and never based on any classified label (DECISIONS.md — D19).

Identity-resolution limits. Counts are grouped by resolved identity (normalize/identity.py), not by human being. M0's identity resolution only merges an exact-matching git email or JIRA username; a commit-trailer reviewer name (a bare handle or display name, not an email) is never automatically linked to that same person's git email or JIRA username, so one contributor active under more than one raw identifier can appear more than once, or under a handle rather than their full name. Manual merges are reviewed, evidenced entries in identity_overrides.yaml -- see the corrections link below to request one. Request an identity correction (every row's own "Report an issue" link below uses this same form) — see /corrections/ for what happens next.
