http://people.debian.org/~spaillard/developers-age-histogramm/ actually also
contains historical data.

Fortunately, it also shows the average age increases slower than time: over
2012 (12 months so), average age increased by 2.7 months only.

Consider the figures below with caution, as it's computed from rounded to year
data, hence the big jump at year transition.
