    There is a very large corpus of FLOSS software out there serving everything from individual itches to whole industries. Any project that is important to someone’s bottom line is likely to have paid developers working on it but often alongside hobbyists.

    The project I predominately work on is about 90% paid developers but from lots of different companies and organisations. Practically though the developers don’t care about the affiliation of the other developers they work with but the ideas and patches they bring to the project.
















  • It looks like a lot of mappings need adding as most people come up as unknown:

    EDIT updated with newer mappings.

  • The gitdm scripts come from LWN who do a regular “who writes the kernel” report but can work on any git repo.

    You can be fairly certain that patches coming from a corporate domain are paid for their time. You can add extra metadata to track people who use personal or org addresses if they confirm it’s a paid gig. The project I work on most is about 75% paid contributors with hobbyists and academics making up the rest. The good unpaid contributors can often get hired if they want to be.


  • I added gitdm stats awhile back although the mappings could certainly do with some clean-up. For the last year of activity the stats are:
