You can see that commits in branches count, otherwise I would never have made top 5. The script does not catch if committers use git locally and only commit when something is finished...but please dont look too much at the commit numbers (top five) they are for fun The number of different committers is what really matters, and if we had one volunteer that did many patches he/she would have been nominated committer. rgds jan I. > > -Rob > > > Rgds > > Jan I. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
