Does ruby have active developers or does matz do basically everything? I
am just wondering.
The ChangeLog shows that 126 developers have contributed to Ruby's source
since 1997. Processing the current CVS ChangeLog reveals that Matz far leads
the pack of developers, but there are easily 20 developers working on the
source code these days.
Here's a complete summary from the ChangeLog, which counts the number of
changes for a developer and shows their date range of activity.
