Well, it's that time again - time for more statistics! With the release of Fedora 20 beta we take some time to look at and recognize the users who contribute to the project. With Beta being out and in the wild, we're currently testing for the Final release which is slated to come out December 10th. We can use all the help we can get with testing - so if you have some time, come help out!
With that said, let's get to the statistics.
Wiki
This section is the list of all the contributors who filled in our release validation test matrices (Install, Desktop and Base). Each step of the process goes through these validation tests - which helps to show how thoroughly tested each of those three areas is.

Pwhalen took lead from the last round of statistics. Second place was robatino with a whopping total of 26 unique bugs found! satellit came in third, moving up from 10th in Alpha. We had 23 testers submit over 1400 reports - which is exceptional!
Bugzilla
This section is a slightly trimmed list of all the contributors who reported bugs into Bugzilla for F20 Beta. The Bugzilla numbers increased dramatically from the Fedora 20 Alpha phase. Almost 1000 more bugs reported this time around and 300 more people reporting them! That's a great thing to see - hopefully we can keep this up for Final :)

| ...and also 389 other reporters who created less than 5 reports each, but 618 reports combined! | |||
With the huge increase in both reporters and reported bugs it's no surprise that the leaders this time around had much higher numbers. Mikhail doubled the top numbers from Beta as well as Chris Murphy, who took second. Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek came in third with an additional 28 bug reports, bringing the total for all three of them to 126. Thanks to everyone who took the time to submit bugs (all 1309 of them)!
Bodhi - Updates Testing
This section is a slightly trimmed list of all the contributors who provided feedback in Bodhi during Beta testing. Bodhi is a system used to verify the stability of packages before they get to stable. The number of testers and comments also significantly increased since Alpha. It's good to see such solid growth between releases. It will be interesting to see what kind of numbers we get for Final.
Test period: Fedora 20 Alpha - Fedora 20 Beta (2013-09-25 - 2013-11-12)
Testers: 205
Comments [5]: 1294
Björn Esser (besser82) stayed in the lead this time, with Igor Gnatenko (ignatenkobrain) as a extremely close second. Nonamedotc dropped from second to fourth, while Fabio Valentini (fafatheone) moved up to third. It's great to see so many people submitting karma for packages, and to see such close numbers. Good work everyone!
Conlusion
When you compare the numbers to Alpha, the Beta release looks awesome. It was great to see such dramatic increases in participation throughout the Beta release process. With the upcoming Final release (2013-12-10) it will be interesting to see where our numbers go.

.. [1] This is a list of bug reports linked to the wiki results. They don't have to be reported by that concrete person.
.. [2] The total number of new reports (including "excess reports"). Reopened reports or reports with a changed version are not included, because it was not technically easy to retrieve those. This is one of the reasons why you shouldn't take the numbers too seriously, but just as interesting and fun data.
.. [3] Excess reports are those that were closed as NOTABUG, WONTFIX, WORKSFORME, CANTFIX or INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Excess reports are not necessarily a bad thing, but they make for interesting statistics. Close manual inspection is required to separate valuable excess reports from those which are less valuable.
.. [4] This only includes reports that were created by that particular user and accepted as blockers afterwards. The user might have proposed other people's reports as blockers, but this is not reflected in this number.
.. [5] If a person provides multiple comments to a single update, it is considered as a single comment. Karma value is not taken into account.
