Hi, I've been looking at incubator mail list activity from 2015 to 2025 and found some patterns that could help mentors, PPMCs, and the IPMC.
1. Release cadence has improved Podlings are now releasing more often, and teh first release is sooner than in past years. 2. Release success has improved Since 2020, there have been far fewer repeated attempts to release the same version. 3. Silence plus no releases in the first year is the strongest risk signal Podlings that release early usually move forward. Those who stay quiet and don't release are much more likely to retire. 4. Governance load follows podling population Traffic rises and falls with the total number of podlings. 5. There is an effective upper limit on predictable behaviour Vote latency is fastest and most stable when podlings are in the low 40s. Above about 50 active podlings, vote durations become more variable, and the system appears more strained. Here is the full document.
