Hi,

I think it's clear that "important commits" is going to be something we

I was surprised that not more of my stuff was in the top-15, since I 
submitted less-than-finished patches quite often. Especially 
merge-recursive was quite a bit of work for Alex and me.

BTW merge-recursive is a perfect example why this approach will break 
down: most of the rewrite in C took place in a private repository with 
quite some commits. This does not show in the git repository.

I fully expect the linux repository to behave similarly, since most of the 
features are cooked elsewhere, and not all of them are pulled, but some 
are applied (i.e. they appear out of nowhere from the repository's 
viewpoint).

Ciao,
