Assume that a pull request with a history record of being 'merged' has been accepted

pull_request table includes both head_repo_id and base_repo_id base repo is where the changes will go head repo is where the changes are coming from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14034504/change-base-repo-for-github-pull-requests

Since we are talking about the approval of pull requests, I will choose the base repo since that is where the changes are going.

Note: some of these results look unusual, in that projects that I would believe would be very active have few approved pull requests.

Possibly these groups do not use pull requests as often and edit master directly?

SELECT count(distinct pull_request_id) as num_approved, projects.name as project_name, projects.url as url

      JOIN projects ON pull_requests.base_repo_id = projects.id
  WHERE action = 'merged'
  GROUP BY projects.id, accepted_on

Assume that a pull request with a history record of being 'closed' but lacking one of being 'merged' has been rejected.

SELECT count(distinct pull_request_id) as num_rejected, projects.name as project_name, projects.url as url
FROM msr14.pull_request_history
	join pull_requests on pull_request_history.pull_request_id = pull_requests.id

where action = 'closed' AND pull_request_id not in 
	(SELECT pull_request_id
