[Starlingx-discuss] opendev statistics

[Xie, Cindy]

Normally github watches & stars are used to measure how the project is fitting the community interest. For myself, when somebody recommend an OSS project to me, I will go to github and see how popular it is, and there are what I am looking for.

The feature you described below to me, not sure how often people are using them, but as it's not explicitly visible to observers, it is difficult to use judge the community fit I think.

There is a feature in Gerrit to "watch" specific repositories so that you receive E-mail notification when there are updates to change proposals for them. Also Gerrit has the ability to "star"
individual changes you're keeping track of. These are utilitarian functions targeted at streamlining code review workflows, so not exposed as vanity stats the same way social media sites like GitHub do. I could probably find a way to query them if you could be specific as to the need.
