Lotka's law and Lucene
20% of contributors does 80% of work. That's how Lotka describes the
productivity of scientific authors back in 1926. An analysis on open
source software development show this is equally applicable
(http://www.javarants.com/B1823453972/C1460559707/E20051119163857/index.html).
Lucene is used as an example in the analysis. Let's give dnaber an
applause as he tops the productivity chart.

And of course Doug still does a lot of work on Lucene, but often
leaves the commit to someone else.

Ah, finally all the hard work converting one kind of whitespace into the
other starts to pay off :-)
But seriously, just counting the number of commits is misleading at best,
as some people prefer to make many small commits and other make a few
larger and more relevant commits.
