Going through the same process myself, short answer there is no easy metric that you can add that really quantifies a developer.
I would start measuring projects or teams first, getting a solid set of metrics for each and once you have that you can start tracking down individual developers.
Even so tracking developer productivity can be hard, a good chunk of our work happens in our head. Who is more valuable the developer that wrote thousands of lines of code or the one that changed one but fixed a critical bug in production?
