Project activity¶
Generated 2026-10-01 by tools/project-activity.sh, from the GitHub API. Window: pull requests opened since 2025-10-01, in the organisation's public repositories. No person is named here; the numbers are counts.
Waiting for review means ready (not a draft), still open, and without an approval from someone other than its author; it is measured from the first time the pull request was ready. A review is a GitHub review by someone other than the author; a plain comment is not one.
Help wanted¶
Review is the project's bottleneck, and everyone is welcome to help fill the gap — no membership is needed to review a pull request or to open one.

bar [5, 10]How to help:
- Review one of the pull requests waiting longest, listed under Waiting for review: read it, try it if you can, and approve it or say what is wrong. A review from someone who runs Xymon in production is worth as much as one from a developer.
- Contribute: pick an issue and open a pull request — First contribution says how.
- Talk to us on the mailing list, linked from Project & community.
The estimate divides the arrivals by one reviewer's pace; it is a range read from a few months, not a target.

| 🔴 | Ready pull requests waiting more than 30 days | 42 of 63 waiting | ≤ 5 | > 20 |

By month (xymon)¶
Bars: pull requests that became ready for review. Line: approvals. The gap between them is review that did not happen.

Not counted¶
Discussion on the mailing list and in chat; reviews given as plain comments; an owner's administrative work; changes pushed without a pull request, which is how most wiki pages are written.
