  There's no question Google has the most code checked in, but this can be a faulty metric (generated, rebased, etc can mess up authorship). We think it's more important around # of unique contributors, where we (Google) are <50%.

Looks like my 60% number is out of date - looks like we (Google) are up to 44%. I'll have to figure out why. Disclosure: I work at Google on Kubernetes

    In my experience, the question of who the contributors are and how much they may contribute is less important than the question of who has control of the project. If you're claiming that Google has delegated authority over Kubernetes to the open-source community, and therefore is not in a position to place its needs over those of the community, please say so explicitly here. Why quibble over statistics when we can get an official statement?

      We, Google, have contributed 100% of Kubernetes to the Cloud Native Compute foundation, and, therefore, are not in position to place our needs over those of the community.[1] That is not to say we (Google) do not continue to be deeply invested in its success (it's the core of our Google Container Engine), and, further, human beings who are also employed at Google _are_ core contributors to the project, but Google is not associated with the project.
