Unfortunately, I'm not paid by the line, and I'm not sure how this metric represents contributions which aren't necessarily represented this way. I mean, if I pair with someone, or offer a thorough and helpful code review, that's valuable time that isn't measured.
Also, it's easy to contribute more when you know less. I know lots of devs who can pump out code, but it doesn't mean it's all going to be good. How do you measure the time it takes to figure out how hastily committed code works?
