The idea is to study the ratio between PRs to external projects and PRs to owned projects for different developer groups. I have a theory that the more experienced (hence older) you become, the more you tend to contribute to projects in which you feel comfortable: you are a maintainer or you have a long track of prior contributions. I want to dig it: compare several languages, compare differrent experience levels, etc. It is also interesting to measure how much people go project-social in general.

My information source will be GHTorrent, though if we had a ready-to-use GitBase playground in a cluster, it would be possible to collect with PGA.

@vmarkovtsev Sorry about not reviewing this earlier. I believe we already have quite a few blog post / topics in the works that IMO should take precedent over this one.
