Nope. At the moment, the company that commits the most code to PostgreSQL is whoever is of course Crunchy, because they employ Tom Lane. (I assume that's why Stephen is bringing the topic up.) EnterpriseDB is second, because they employ me. 2ndQuadrant is third. This is true whether you total by primary author or by who actually committed the code. http://rhaas.blogspot.com/2017/04/who-contributes-to-postgresql.html https://www.reddit.com/r/PostgreSQL/comments/67uk65/who_contributes_to_postgresql_development/dgtxnt6/ Granted, those statistics are only for 2016. I'm sure it's been different in years past and will be again in the future, but I'll bet the top company has rarely been anything other than Tom Lane's current employer. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-advocacy mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-advocacy
