If I have more motivation I'll try to get some stats comparing different

interested on different kind of statistics I can run more. Suggestions are
very welcome and appreciated (for instance fixing contributor <-> company)!
A year or so ago, someone pointed me out a PhD dissertation in which a
For sure the information contained in git logs don't measure how high-level the
changes are being submitted, but it would be nice to devise some metrics, apart
from the usual LOC, which could help us visualize the architectural impact
caused by the big players.
most of changes being done are fixes, and do not contribute to
structural changes in Xorg. i would be more interested in
overall history graphs (since 3.3.6 release), with semantic analysis,
MPX changes, etc.
also note 'big players' usually implement same changes 'small players' do
- which make software functional for their particular purpose, not
nessesairly making development any easier for other cases.
main difference is changes confidence factor.
i've been silently following X development since at least 10 years,
incl. vnc branches and i would surely hold out enthusiasm due to recent
changes being made and planning outcomes from such short period of time
recent stats did present.
otoh i am very glad so many people still do contribute and maintain
knowledge about code structure - imho this wishes the project at least
next several years of existence.
greetings and thanx to all for their great work through all those years.
