Drupal contributor statistics

I recently extracted some data from the Drupal project's CVS and Git logs to see how the number of code contributors and total contributions have changed over time. If there was any doubt of our continual growth, the resulting charts demolish it.

Graph showing the number of Drupal commits per month, with a sharp increase after 2009. — *Aggregated results from core and contributed modules.*

Graph showing the number of Drupal committers per month, increasing steadily from 2001 to 2011 with sharp growth at the end. — *Aggregated results from core and contributed modules.*

As can be seen from the graphs, there is a pretty big spike in commit activity post-Git migration.
