Sorry man, that is only for people with followers over 187. It stands to reason that the people that are truly at the top are the ones that don't take time promoting themselves on Hacker News.
Not that I think you are wrong, but those things might be related :)
- steveklabnik 13y agoOf course, that's always possible. It's also only GitHub, there are many, many, many people who develop a _lot_ of open source software on other places as well. Furthermore, the long tail dictates that the mass of people with a few contributions contribute waaaaay more than the people who are at the top. That said, there's nobody on that list who has an insignificant number of contributions, either, which is more important. #256 is ~3 commits/day.
