2016 in Review

It’s May. I forgot to post this. Go on and laugh 🙂

Anyway. At the end of last year, I looked at all the posts on Make/Updates and manually crafted out a spreadsheet that listed all the plugins submissions, rejections, approvals and closures. And here’s how the year looked:

If you don’t want to calculate it all yourself, I’ve made my Google sheet sharable. I didn’t go back and do 2015, and while I do plan to do one for 2017, we will have a big gap in numbers as I don’t have a way to calculate closed plugins at the moment.

By the way, there was a higher number of closed plugins in 2016 than ever before. That’s because more people than ever have asked us to close plugins, but also because we closed plugins without a committer with a valid email address. And that was a lot of people.
