Not to mention that we avoid posting these kinds of stats since they can be misinterpreted and damaging to the community. No numbers on how many commits a person does or mails a person posts will tell the full image. It may even present a blurred image (someone needing one commit to get things right versus someone needing ten). Same for posts; it's quality and quantity. And stats don't measure quality. Please, do not post stats of any kind to say something about merit.
