- Number of contributing companies
- Number of overall contributors (all types of contributions)
- Mailing list participation: number of messages and diversity of participants (not simply the same voices all the time)
- Chat tool participation: number of messages and diversity of participants (not simply the same voices all the time)
- JIRA participation (bugs & blueprints): diversity of participants (not simply the same voices all the time)
- Gerrit review participation: diversity of participants (not simply the same voices all the time)
