right. I wouldn't go as far as to narrow down the idea of community to
just the people that commit much in terms of code. There are other
kinds of contributions, and other ways to contribute. I also think
that people who just use the trunk image for development belong to the
community.

There's the core developers, and there's the community; those who
shape the ecosystem, and those who inhabit it.

That is a correct observation, but again you're only measuring
contributions that were made in terms of committing to the source code
repository.

BTW I don't know how those numbers look in other, comparable, OSS
communities. Could it be the same?

Best,
