Feature Request: Stack Exchange metric "Time to First Response"

CHAOSS metric: Time to First Response

In the context of Stack Exchange, it's not just any response, but specifically answers. (maybe the metric for SE should be called "Time to First Answer".

However, Time-to-answer might be hard because it implies that a response actually answers the question and doesn't pile on.

Therefore, I like the Time to First Response metric.

As a layman, I see in the stackexchange index:

• _id = (answer_id OR question_id)
• is_accepted_answer (same as is_accepted?)
• question_id (references the original _id (question_id) )
• type = answer/question
• creation_date

Pseudo logic

IF question.question_id = answer.question_id AND answer.is_accepted_answer = TRUE
THEN
     TIME-TO-ANSWER = difference between question.creation_date and answer.creation_date

Hi, I'm tieway59 and I'm interested in this metric, I would work on it as my first contribution to grimoirelab.

Thanks for showing interest @TieWay59.

I would like to give you some pointers for helping with this. I assume you are already having the developer setup in your system. Most of the raw data is already available if you run the raw task using micro mordred. You can find the stackexchange enricher in the ELK repository. You just need to implement the metric with the right formula as mentioned in the issue. You can probably refer to other enrichers like gitlab, github, etc. to look for inspiration.

Please let us know if you need any help.
