Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Software ecosystems consist of a number of software projects that are developed and evolve within a shared environment. However, it is challenging for ecosystems to attract new contributors and retain the existing ones. Although several studies have investigated contributor migration and project sustainability, the magnetic and sticky natures (a pair of population migration metrics) of software ecosystems are still unclear. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study on three popular ecosystems (npm, PyPI, and RubyGems) to quantitatively measure their magnet and sticky values. Our results show that npm and PyPI are more likely to attract new contributors while RubyGems tends to better retain existing contributors. Moreover, at the project domain level, we find that textit{web libraries and frameworks} repositories are less likely to retain their contributors. Our work provides new insights into capturing the trends of contributor migration.
