I don't know what you're looking at, but in the past month, there's been 
56 unique contributors, with 411 changesets.  I count 16 people employed 
by distributions with 188 changesets.

I'm not saying that KVM isn't significant.  I'm employed to work on QEMU 
because of KVM.

I'm just saying that KVM users aren't 99% of the community and that we 
can't neglect the rest of the community.
