After a long break, I will be taking over reporting on the contributions. FYI, the last one was done in Jan 2025.

Server Contributions

Just like last time, I’m going to start with a breakdown of all the organizations who have contributed to MariaDB Server during the above period.

MariaDB Server contributions for from 1st January 2026 – 31st June 2026

A big thank you to MariaDB Plc!

The interesting entry however is the “independent” section representing the community at large! More contributors than any other entity! Commit number is small, but it’s still sitting strong on 3d place!

Statistics by lines of code

I’ve also generated the statistics on lines of code. The data is recorded as lines “added” and “removed”.

MariaDB Server contributions for from 1st January 2026 – 31st June 2026

Obviously, the MariaDB Plc is also the leader in this category. But, the community at large is coming second by lines added!

Pull Requests

Next up, let’s take a look at the state of pull requests. Note that these are ALL pull requests, not just the community contributions!

Let’s start with the raw PR data. The columns are:

• New PRs: The number of PRs that have been opened that week.
• Draft PRs: Of the newly opened PRs that week, how many are currently drafts.
• Closed PRs: The number of PRs that have been closed that week (not merged).
• Merged PRs: The number of PRs that have been merged that week.
• Total PRs: The total number of PRs we have had up to the end of that week.
• Still Open PRs: The total number of PRs still open (including draft) at the end of that week.
• Days to First Response: The average number of days to first meaningful response of PRs for PRs that have been responded, for the PRs opened that week.
• New PRs Responded: The total number of PRs that have had a meaningful response that have been opened that week.
• PRs Self Merge No Review: The number of PRs opened that week which have been merged by the author with no review from anyone else in the MariaDB team.
• PRs Self Closed No Review: The number of PRs opened that week which have had no meaningful response and have been closed by the author.

And now some graphs:

What Do The Numbers Say

Pull request activity remained strong throughout the first half of 2026. During this period, 777 new pull requests were opened and 430 were merged.

At the same time, the number of open pull requests increased from 256 at the beginning of January to 425 by the end of June. This shows that while development activity remains high, new pull requests are arriving faster than they are being merged or otherwise closed.

During these six months, 40 independent contributors participated in MariaDB Server development, and together they accounted for more than 21% of all lines added.

The goal of these reports is therefore not only to count contributions, but also to follow how the MariaDB development community evolves over time — and where we can make contributing even easier.

If there are other statistics or aspects of MariaDB Server development you would like to see in future contribution reports, let us know!
