This thread somehow reminds me how the company I'm working for tries to measure my profitability: lines of code edited, number of bugs fixed in what time, and other odd things :-)
Sorry if this is the wrong subject ...

Hey, for my information (people ask me this a lot) can one of you do a count of patch submitters for 8.0? For 7.4, it was around 180.
Perhaps this is the gist of the problem: the 180 count was not "patch
submitters" but "people who helped develop 7.4" whether or not they actually
submitted a bona fide patch. If it was just patches, the number would
probably be about 50 or so, I would estimate. It's certainly a fuzzy line,
but I'd argue that somebody who points out a memory leak that is subsequently
patched by Tom should get credit as a "developer", even if no actual patch
was submitted.
I'll give it a go for 8.0 and see what number I come up with.
