Moreover, "bugs" can linger around in code for a long time and you can't really track that metric. Code changing over time in a repository could be to fix bugs or refactor/rewrite etc. I think the original posters question was more around whether there are existing resources to track these things to which the answer I feel is no. Combining blogs posts, stack exchange score, speaking topics and other real world things can give you some semblance of a developers engagement with the development community but doesn't translate one-to-one on their actual productivity levels on a team. Although these things usually indicate a greater potential for success.
