SELECT
DATE_ADD(date(pr.created_date), INTERVAL -$interval(date(pr.created_date))+1 DAY) as time,
count(distinct prc.id)/count(pr.id) as "PR Review Depth"
FROM
pull_requests pr
left join pull_request_comments prc on pr.id = prc.pull_request_id

GROUP BY 1

How to improve?

  1. Encourage multiple reviewers to review a PR;
  2. Review Depth is an indicator for generally how thorough your PRs are reviewed, but it does not mean the deeper the better. In some cases, spending an excessive amount of resources on reviewing PRs is also not recommended.
