No corrections here -- I noticed nothing wrong with the commits I am
involved with, in a quick read.  I did notice that for patches with
multiple authors, only the first one is listed.  For instance,
53c2a97a926's author ("Improve performance of subsystems on top of
SLRU") is listed as Andrey Borodin, leaving Dilip Kumar out.  I realize
that addressing this would complicate the schema and queries, but maybe
it's worth thinking about for next time.  We have plenty of patches with
multiple authors, after all.

Hmm, maybe
UPDATE commits2024 SET xlines = 0 WHERE commitid in
  ('43ce181059d', '4632e5cf4bc', '6377e12a5a5', 'ff9f72c68f6',
  '21ef4d4d897', '592a2283721');

How did you come up with the 'lines' number for each commit anyway?
Judging by 592a2283721 it's not just the number of lines added, since
that commit added 3 lines and you have lines=2.


An unrelated (and possibly useless) thing is that some committers seem
firmly in the camp of ending commit titles with a period, others are
firmly in the other camp; only two people seem not to have made up their
minds about that:

Query was:
select committer,
  count(*) filter (where subject     like '%.') as "with end period",
  count(*) filter (where subject not like '%.') "without end period",
  ((count(*) filter (where subject like '%.'))::numeric / count(*) * 100)::numeric(5,2) as "fraction with end period"
from commits2024
group by committer
order by 4 desc, split_part(committer, ' ', 2);


Thanks!
