Provide yearly contributions count

Problem to solve

Please provide yearly contributions count

Further details

Yearly contribution count provide total amount of 'activity'. So we can easily track how many contribution each user made in x year. This give us many benefits e.g review how active user x, most active user/staff, etc.

Currently we can calculate user contribution the hard way, via events. But it takes lot of step and tremendous time (get all user projects, then calculate all user commit in that projects). It would be easier if Gitlab provide the contribution summary with total numbers. Since Gitlab already had the 'activity calendars'. So it's not hard to add.

Github had this. User took that value from user profile page (html) then parse it. If Gitlab have this in API endpoint, maybe this will be great.

Proposal

Provide yearly contributions count e.g "1,169 contributions in the last year" around 'activity calendar'

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
