It'd be interesting to see this broken down by organization - i.e. who is funding this development.

not quite what you're asking for, but mostly to satisfy my own curiosity here's the employers of the top 35, pulled from either the postgresql contributor list or linkedin https://pastebin.com/GYbsEkSu https://pastebin.com/GYbsEkSu https://www.postgresql.org/community/contributors/ https://www.postgresql.org/community/contributors/

  And for fun, I ended up doing the same in parallel for the 2021 data: https://gist.github.com/lfittl/2f112698f908d38f43f4f2aeaaa947f7 https://gist.github.com/lfittl/2f112698f908d38f43f4f2aeaaa94... Note that some of the folks on the list have changed jobs in the last 2 years, so it wouldn't be accurate to attribute all contributions to the current employer (plus some folks contribute on their own time). Also, the EDB / 2ndquadrant acquisition has led to a lot of EDB-attributed contributions, which hopefully will last :) Edit: FWIW, I think your 2020 list has Tom Lane working for Google - thats not accurate (I think you got the wrong one from LinkedIn), as he is still employed by Crunchy Data (since leaving Salesforce in 2015), to my knowledge.

    I hadn't heard of Tom Lane before. But his prolificness in contributing led me to search for him. And wow. He has quite a history. Co-author or the PNG spec. Major contributor to JPEG's success. Not to mention postgres. At 66 years old and still so actively involved! Very impressive

    Heh, yeah I totally found the wrong tom lane on linkedin In fairness, I didn't find the postgres contributors list until I'd gotten a little further down the list.

  Tom lane actually works at Crunchy Data. Paul Jungwirth is at illuminated computing if I recall correctly. Edit: And if looking for 2020, I believe Zenith labs was only founded a few months ago. At the time Heikki was at was vmware, Peter G. was Crunchy Data. And probably half of the EDB ones were 2nd Quadrant including Peter E., Alvarro H. and Vik F. (I think).
