It doesn't have any information about what was done.  They might have uploaded
stuff to download.osgeo.org, but maybe something completely different.

Code contributions usually are done via a vcs (git, svn etc.) that is not
hosted on download.osgeo.org either.

I suppose the usual action on download.osgeo.org are uploads of packages, which
are also only done by a small fraction of the contributors.

As said access to download.osgeo.org is not limited to charter members - so
AFAICT there's no solid information about charter activity at all in the
metric.
