Fair comments from both Andreas and Jurgen (below).
I was merely trying to see if we should also be looking after the
efforts of the quiet self funded developer in the back room.

Whilst recognising the immense importance of financial funding, surely there

giving their own time without receiving any remuneration whatsoever.
That and/or are doing it on their employers time without being contracted by a
customer.
Perhaps a "bar-counter" showing the number of source-code lines contributed
in the last "rolling 12 month" period - maybe for the top 10 contributors
only?
That's not as easy as it sounds. There are bulk changes (eg. indentation) that
would probably attribute lines to people who didn't do the code - otoh those
maintainance task should also get recognition, although LOC does make even less
sense there (same for refactoring to remove clutter and thereby reduce LOC).
