Dear Sir,

We are gathering information regarding PostgreSQL open source product
quality and its community. Can you kindly help me to find following data.

Your questions are incredibly broad, so you're going to get some broad answers.

1. Number of releases happened since last 12 months along with its
version numbers.

look here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-announce/

2. Number of Bugs fixed since last 12 months and last 6 months.

look here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/

3. Activities in each of the mailing list. Like number of posts and
number of members involved since last 12 months and last 6 months.

see here:
http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/

The important lists are -general, -hackers

4. Number of code contributors since last 12 months and last 6 months.

look here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/
also here: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/

5. Major contributors to the community.

see here: http://www.postgresql.org/community/contributors/

6. Number of downloads of the PostgreSQL open source software.

That's very hard to get, since a large percentage of postgresql
installations are using operating system supplied packages.

i think that looking at the git shortlog of a stable branch(or the
release notes of a stable branch) is actually painting a more realistic
picture of the bug fixing activity

I am curious as to why you want this information, and what you intend

As to quality, I would have thought performance metrics, sizes of
databases, ... would have been useful.
