Unfortunately the email domain doesn't tell the whole story who's
backing development, the company or the individual.

Seems very clear. I don't even see GFS or GFS2 on here. It's Gluster and Ceph.

Over the past 18 months, it's about 100 Btrfs contributors, 71 ext4,
63 XFS. So all three have many contributors. That of course does not
tell the whole story by any means.
