Dave Neary has posted the highlights
of his work to determine where contributions to GNOME come from.
“While over 70% of GNOME developers identify themselves as
volunteers, over 70% of the commits to the GNOME releases are made by paid
contributors. Red Hat are the biggest contributor to the GNOME project and
its core dependencies. Red Hat employees have made almost 17% of all
commits we measured, and 11 of the top 20 GNOME committers of all time are
current or past Red Hat employees. Novell and Collabora are also on the
podium.“
