It's because lots of people contribute patches and whatnot, but very few people have commit privs to make the actual checkins to their repository. It's a different community model than Plone's very open, trusting approach. I am pretty sure the same is true of Joomla as well.
I think it's good to emphasize how open and collaborative the community is, but wise to avoid direct comparisons with competitors, because it is a bit of "apples and oranges" due to different community management structures. :jon Gerry Kirk-3 wrote: > > Only 22 Drupal contributors?
