| |
In the XFS community, we have 2 clear leaders in terms of contributions of significant feaures and depth of knowledge - Christoph and Dave.
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 <dchinner@redhat.com> 163 Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> 51 Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> 35 Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 34 Author: Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com> 29 Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> 28 Author: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> 25 Author: Zhi Yong Wu <wuzhy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> 24 Author: Jeff Liu <jeff.liu@oracle.com> 21 Author: Jie Liu <jeff.liu@oracle.com> 20 Author: Mark Tinguely <tinguely@sgi.com> 16 Author: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> 12 Author: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> 12 Author: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@redhat.com>
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.
Best regards,
Ric
