== More contributors, more contributions, faster reviewed/merged ==

In term of contributions, I looked at statistics yesterday and it became clear the number of different authors is significantely much higher, around 25 contributors / month before, now closer to 50: https://www.openhub.net/p/python/contributors/summary Well, Git allows to store the original author, so statistics are simplify higher just because previously the tools failed to identify the real author. But I'm watching the bug tracker, pull requests, and Git commits: there are a lot of new contributors, we get more contributions, and we are faster to integrate them. I also saw again inactive core contributors starting to review again, or even write new PRs! It's a very good sign of the good health of our project! More generally, the whole development seems to be more active, more productive and more healthy.

I have a different impression. Some core developers (like Raymond or Martin) stopped committing even if they are active on the bug tracker or mailing lists. Others make much less commits than they did before the migration.

I rather like the new workflow (except few lost features), but I afraid than many core developers are feeling uncomfortable with it.
