[feature request] Support multi-select of repositories under Repository Group

[xtreme-sameer-vohra]

Context

Knative is composed of 3 distinct domains (Serving, Eventing & Functions). It would be valuable to be able to easily view & aggregate metrics for each of these individually.

For example, on the Contributors Chart, one can select "All" to get data for the entire community or a single repository at a time.

If I wanted to understand the contributors to the Serving domain, I'd want to aggregate stats for

• knative/serving
• knative/serving-operator
• knative/networking
• knative-extenstions/net-istio
• knative-extenstions/net-certmanager
• knative-extenstions/net-contour
• knative-extenstions/net-kourier
• .....

Aggregating the data for each repo (eg. add contributors for knative/serving + knative/serving-operator+...) would not be an accurate representation as individuals that work on multiple repos would be counted more than once.

I'll be on PTO until Sep 11th, I can take a look then. But you can define so-called Repository groups and have all-dashboards-wide definitions of some special groups.

By default in each CNCF project repository group = every single repo.

But you can say: define the Serving repository group as every repo that belongs to the knative-serving org or by just listing repos that should be there, then define another repository group for the next set, and so on.

If you provide such a list of which repo should belong to which repository group - it will support your request out of the box and I will manage to do it before my PTO 9which starts 31st of August).

Something similar to Kubernetes SIGs definitions as repository groups: https://github.com/cncf/devstats/blob/master/scripts/kubernetes/repo_groups.sql

Currently knative uses default fallback: https://github.com/cncf/devstats/blob/master/scripts/shared/repo_groups.sql, while you can define your custom ones in https://github.com/cncf/devstats/blob/master/scripts/knative/repo_groups.sql.

More details about repo groups: https://github.com/cncf/devstats/blob/master/docs/repository_groups.md

@xtreme-sameer-vohra ?

Please define the requested repo groups, this will solve this issue IMHO.

DevStats now also supports org wide repo groups (GitHub org as a repository group),more details here.

I'm closing this due to inactivty, all what is needed is to provide requested repository groups definition - eiather as a PR or describe it like (repos X, Y, Z belong to repo group A, repos P, Q, R belong to repo group B, and so on). In either case I will update.

Closing this.
