In the XFS community, we have 2 clear leaders in terms of contributions of
significant feaures and depth of knowledge - Christoph and Dave.
If you look at the number of patches submitted by developers since 3.0 who have
more than 10 patches, we get the following:
319 Author: Dave Chinner <[email protected]>
163 Author: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]>
51 Author: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]>
35 Author: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
34 Author: Chandra Seetharaman <[email protected]>
29 Author: Al Viro <[email protected]>
28 Author: Brian Foster <[email protected]>
25 Author: Zhi Yong Wu <[email protected]>
24 Author: Jeff Liu <[email protected]>
21 Author: Jie Liu <[email protected]>
20 Author: Mark Tinguely <[email protected]>
16 Author: Dave Chinner <[email protected]>
12 Author: Eric Sandeen <[email protected]>
12 Author: Carlos Maiolino <[email protected]>
If we as a community had more capacity for patch review, Dave's numbers would
have jumped up even higher :)
It is certainly very welcome to bring new developers into our community, but if
we are going to add a co-maintainer for XFS, we really need to have one of our
two leading developers in that role.
Best regards,
Ric

Hi Ben,
How exactly did we decide to add a new co-maintainer? Shouldn't we have some
discussion on the list and see some substantial history of contributions?
Best regards,
Ric
