Organizational Distribution Score

[Ly0n]

In his presentation at the Open Technology for Sustainability Day 2023, @dbrownlf proposed an organizational distribution score that shows the extent to which contributors of a repository belong to different organizations.

This might also be very interesting for @andrew and ecosyste.ms.

This could be useful but it could also be difficult to track since I know a lot of folks use Gmail addresses or similar for their GitHub accounts. We run into that with our LFX tooling as well. There are likely to be at least some who have their accounts tied to their employers though, so it could still be useful as a health indicator.

I did some work a couple years back for Protocol Labs to work out which organizations a github user belonged to based on if they had performed actions (using the events api) on a repository that only an owner of an org could do (merging a PR, pushing directly to the main branch etc), so was able to then group contributors by org, the code is open source as part of https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ecosystem-dashboard so could be reused for that.

We also have the email addresses in the commits, which could be grouped by domain as a lighter weight option.

I deployed a little test for grouping by email domain, it's not great but it does kinda work: https://ost.ecosyste.ms/projects/20003
