Thanks, Werner, for spotting this interesting set of links. Of course, I was gratified to learn I had the most commits over the years although Maurice beat us all in terms of number of lines changed, with three of us in a fairly close tie for second place in that category. But who is counting? :-) On a more serious note, I must emphasize that my work (on testing, documentation, bindings, build system, font infrastructure, and low-level bug fixing as well as patch committal of some non-core developer's work) is of different nature than the other developers here since I am precluded from working much on our core C library and the device drivers because I don't have the same C/C++ skills as the other developers here. Anyhow, I am in awe of what you guys can do with C/C++ and glad that our different skills complement each other so well for the task of constantly improving PLplot.
