when I read his contrib stats:<br /><br /> <a href="https://github.com/kentfredric">https://github.com/kentfredric</a> # "Year of contributions - 21,996<br /> total”<br /><br /> Without even speculating by what kind of dedication/witchcraft this<br /> number is even possible, it made me curious about stats in general for<br /> GitHub, and some googling turned up this page:<br /><br /> <a href="http://git.io/top">http://git.io/top</a><br /><br /> This is a report of the “Most Active” 256 GitHub users.
