- Under Review: PR submitted and actively being reviewed
- We count contributions to: Bitcoin Core, rust-bitcoin, BDK, LDK, Fedimint, BTCPay Server, Lightning implementations, BlueWallet, peer-observer, and other Bitcoin FOSS projects
- We do NOT count: personal repos, forks with no upstream PR, or non-Bitcoin projects (except to note OSS capability)
