microsoft GitHub Pull Requests Analytics

In December 2025, Microsoft's GitHub organization exhibited a significant decline in developer activity, as reflected in key metrics surrounding pull requests (PRs), reviews, and code contributions. Notably, the organization recorded 0 total PRs, 0 total reviews, and 0 total comments, indicating a complete halt in collaborative development efforts.

The average PRs per developer per day plummeted to 0, down from 0.08, marking a -1.0% change that highlights an alarming trend of inactivity. Similarly, the average reviews per developer mirrored this drop, falling to 0 from 0.08. This decline may suggest disengagement from the developer community or potential underlying issues with project management and prioritization.

Moreover, the average time to merge PRs was noted at 0 hours, a stark contrast to the previous month’s average of 48.84 hours. This stagnation in merging processes poses risks of bottlenecks and could severely hinder progress on ongoing projects, which is critical for maintaining organizational health and momentum.

Despite this inactivity, prior months indicated an average of 988.03 lines of code per PR and 10.47 files changed per PR, suggesting that when engaged, Microsoft's projects involve substantial code investment and significant modifications.

This analysis raises pressing questions regarding developer contribution trends and the sustainability of project engagement. To ensure the health and longevity of their repositories, Microsoft must revitalize its collaborative efforts and refocus on fostering a robust code review culture.
