R weekly new editor

Thu, 13 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Rweekly is looking for new editors. But they need to have submitted “at least 6 PRs on R Weekly”. If you submitted something through the webpage you also can apply. But I’ll look at how many people has submitted pull requests (PR) through GitHub at the repo rweekly/rewekly.

GH

So the GH package is good for this, but we need to know the API of Github. After a quick search I found the end point of the API:

library("gh")
PR <- gh("GET /search/issues?q=repo:rweekly/rweekly.org+is:pr+is:merged&per_page=100") # Copied from https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/
PR$total_count
## [1] 706

We know that there have been 552, we’ll need 8 calls to the appy, because it returns 100 values on each call.

This time we’ll use copy and paste for a quick solution:

PR2 <- gh("GET /search/issues?q=repo:rweekly/rweekly.org+is:pr+is:merged&per_page=100&page=2")
PR3 <- gh("GET /search/issues?q=repo:rweekly/rweekly.org+is:pr+is:merged&per_page=100&page=3")
PR4 <- gh("GET /search/issues?q=repo:rweekly/rweekly.org+is:pr+is:merged&per_page=100&page=4")
PR5 <- gh("GET /search/issues?q=repo:rweekly/rweekly.org+is:pr+is:merged&per_page=100&page=5")
PR6 <- gh("GET /search/issues?q=repo:rweekly/rweekly.org+is:pr+is:merged&per_page=100&page=6")

Now that we have the data we need to retrive the user names:

data <- list(PR, PR2, PR3, PR4, PR5, PR6)

users <- lapply(data, function(x) {
  vapply(x$items, function(y) {y$user$login}, character(1L))
})
users <- sort(unlist(users))

We know now that 171 has contributed through PR. Which of them are done by at the same people?

ts <- sort(table(users), decreasing = TRUE)
par(mar = c(8,3,3,0))
barplot(ts, las = 2, border = "gray", main = "Contributors to Rweekly.org")

So we have 34 contributors which are ellegible, less if we remove the current editors:
