The fonts SIG is not very easy to cover. We don't have enough people for
continuous activity all year round, so there are long spells of complete
list calm and then activity pikes. So I suppose it's kind of hard to
allocate time for coverage with such variability.

Nevertheless when there are activity spikes we want them to be reported
too. There is never enough coverage. Especially since so far we've
failed to recruit a blogger that would tell the world how awesome we
are :p Our capacity to recruit new packagers depends on the visibility
we get in Fedora news.

I've found markmail graphs to be pretty representative of our activity:
