But I strongly suspect that a knowledgable, labels-shy observer with a good view of the project, and a good knowledge of you, would attribute the good and steady progress it has made since your involvement, down to your personality and drive and programming skills; not the currently trendy label, set of checklists or headline statistics for what at its crux, amounts to no more than having a well-thought through set of development procedures. And using them.

I have trouble separating my "personality and drive and programming skills" from the "well-thought through set of development procedures" I use. If we committers can make and meet commitments regularly, perhaps we're doing something right. (Having a comprehensive test suite, reviewing patches, checking smoke tests, developing on branches and landing only when tests pass, and managing our bug queue are not Herculean tasks only supermen can perform.)
