Inactive Contributors

From For

Definition​

Inactive Contributors is a metric defined by CHAOSS, see CHAOSS Metrics - Inactive Contributors for the detailed definition of this metric.

Inactive Contributors is a metric that shows how many contributors have stopped contributing over a specific period of time. The period of time required for a contributor to be counted as inactive can be decided by a variable (default as 6 months) and this metric will display the number of contributors that have been labeled as inactive over a given time frame.

Inactive Contributors helps determine how many people have stopped contributing actively. This could be useful for community managers to determine if key members are losing interest, or are taking a break.
