Linux Kernel Developers and Commits Dropped in 2019

'Phoronix reports that on New Year's Day, the Linux kernel's Git
source tree showed 27,852,148 lines of code, divided among 66,492
files (including docs, Kconfig files, user-space utilities in-tree,
etc).

Over its lifetime there's been 887,925 commits, and around 21,074
different authors:

During 2019, the Linux kernel saw 74,754 commits, which is actually
the lowest point since 2013. The 74k commits is compares to 80k
commits seen in both 2017 and 2018, 77k commits in 2016, and 75k
commits in both 2014 and 2015. Besides the commit count being lower,
the author count for the year is also lower. 2019 saw around 4,189
different authors to the Linux kernel, which is lower than the 4,362
in 2018 and 4,402 in 2017.

While the commit count is lower for the year, on a line count it's
about average with 3,386,347 lines of new code added and 1,696,620
lines removed...

Intel and Red Hat have remained the top companies contributing to the
upstream Linux kernel.'
