-**2020 has featured a major increase in commits to the [::gentoo](https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/)
-repository**, and especially commits from non-developers. The overall *number of commits* has grown
-from *73400* to *104500* (by 42%), while the number of *commits made by non-developers* has grown from *5700*
-(8% of total) to *11000* (10.5% of total). The latter group has featured *333* unique authors in 2019, and

-The [::guru](https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/proj/guru.git/) repository
-has thrived in 2020. While 2019 left it with merely *7* contributors

-contributors and *2725* commits. GURU is a user-curated repository with

-There was also a major increase in Bugzilla activity. 2020 featured
-almost 25500 bugs reported, compared to 15000 in 2019. This is probably
