The Leaderboard highlights the most active contributors in your repository based on their review and comment activity. It helps teams recognize participation, identify key reviewers, and ensure review responsibilities are balanced.

​
How it works

Each member’s activity is broken down into three metrics:
  • Comments – the number of review comments left by the contributor.
  • Reviews – the number of completed pull request reviews.
  • Activity score – a weighted score combining reviews and comments.
Activity score = (2 × Reviews) + Comments
Reviews are given double weight because they typically require more effort than individual comments.

​
Why it matters

  • Recognize contributions – surface active reviewers and acknowledge their work.
  • Spot imbalances – if review work is concentrated in a few members, redistribute to reduce bottlenecks.
  • Encourage healthy practices – visibility into review activity fosters accountability and shared responsibility.

​
Best practices

  • Use the leaderboard to celebrate top reviewers, but also check for imbalances that may signal review overload.
  • Encourage contributors with lower activity to join reviews, spreading knowledge more evenly.
  • Track leaderboard trends over time to see whether review load is becoming more balanced.
PullRule’s Leaderboard makes review activity transparent, helping teams ensure fair participation and avoid over-reliance on a handful of contributors.
