What It Measures
Counts the number of pull requests that received an approved status during the selected period.
Why It Matters
Tracking how many of your pull requests earn reviewer approval
Measuring acceptance rate of submitted code changes
How It's Calculated
Counts each pull request approval event in the date range.
COUNT(pr_events WHERE status = approved AND timestamp BETWEEN measure_from AND measure_to)Concrete Example
If 12 of your 15 pull requests were approved this month, your approval rate is 80%, most of your work meets the team's quality bar.
