This sounded like a lot to me, so I looked through the last 4096 chromium commits and counted committer names. That is back until the beginning of August. In that time, remarkably, Chromium has indeed had 856 committers, most of which only made a few commits in that timespan. That is very much not what I would have expected.
For comparison, I repeated the experiment with Mozilla's gecko-dev repo, and got 480 people committing - still a lot more than I'd thought. I guess I'll see how this holds up with the downsizing in a month.
[edit] Though - only 199 with a Mozilla email address. Though I don't have a Chromium comparison here.
- the-dude 6y agoThanks for the actual research.
