If you look at the list on GitHub, the number of commits falls off pretty quickly (down to double digits at #9, below 50 at #12, and below 30 at #19), and the amount of code changed can be significantly different for the same number of commits.
I just found the order a little odd in the areas where I really don't expect people to change places frequently. I think it can be beneficial to have the list showing people with fewer commits in the sense that it might inspire more contributions, but I don't have much to say about where the line should be drawn. Honestly, on the Bonfire repo I've only recently become the #2 contributor, and many of the names I recognize as valuable contributors in the last couple of years are much lower on the list than I would have expected. Perhaps some of that is simply because some of their most valuable contributions were in the discussion of issues/pull requests, or we decided to take a slightly different approach and didn't use their commits for some changes. I'm surprised to see myself in the top 100 (barely, probably gone tomorrow) for the CodeIgniter repo, as changing the CI code is usually my last choice when I'm trying to figure out how to get something done. |
