Interesting to see that most of them are almost always growing. It would be interesting to compare them to some other metrics, such as TODO/lines_of_code or TODO/num_contributors, to compare the TODO's with the size of the project. I guess that as project gets bigger, it also gets more TODO's

> TODO/lines_of_code At least this is needed for any meaningful comparison between project (or even in projects themselves, as some double in SLOC count over a few months)

  Ignoring the numbers on vertical axis, plots look like they are normalized to fit the plotting area. TODO/LoC should basically have the same form.

    I don't think so. These plots are normalized by the max number of TODO's, but that may vastly differ from max TODO/LoC of each project.

      Indeed! When those numbers jump up/down in the graphs, there's prolly a code merge/purge cause to it.
