If you look at the number of patches submitted by developers since 3.0 who have more than 10 patches, we get the following: 319 Author: Dave Chinner 163 Author: Christoph Hellwig 51 Author: Christoph Hellwig 35 Author: Linus Torvalds 34 Author: Chandra Seetharaman 29 Author: Al Viro 28 Author: Brian Foster 25 Author: Zhi Yong Wu 24 Author: Jeff Liu 21 Author: Jie Liu 20 Author: Mark Tinguely 16 Author: Dave Chinner 12 Author: Eric Sandeen 12 Author: Carlos Maiolino If we as a community had more capacity for patch review, Dave's numbers would have jumped up even higher :) It is certainly very welcome to bring new developers into our community, but if we are going to add a co-maintainer for XFS, we really need to have one of our two leading developers in that role.
