I repeated several times in this thread that it is perfectly fine when there is "no activity" beside your name.
I know that there is activity that cannot be measured.

I'm really sad to hear this.

I was just watching the ongoing reports of want-to-be-contributors how hard is to get sponsored; reports how Fedora
Repository stalled [1]; discussion that we actually do not know how many active sponsors we have.
So I wanted to do something about it. So I start with this metric in the hope that it may show us where are the space
for improvement.
However since I got only negative feedback, I'm probably really doing something bad. Therefore I back off from this
activity and will do something else.
