Luckily we can find out who was thanked too, it takes the same time to
run. Data below and link for updated report (which is on wikitech due
to WMF server outage for main projects at the time of writing).

Extending to other wikis is not a problem, we just use the relevant
wiki-name of the tables, or call on it when we go into MySQL (and then
the script does not need to be edited). It should be possible to do a
nice report that does this for all active wikis; once a month is
enough. I have published the SQL below for those technically minded.
If someone wants to pick this up, that's cool. If left to me it may
take a couple of months to polish off due to my backlog. My other
maintained reports are mostly listed at

SQL:
// Top 10 thanks givers in a month
SELECT log_user_text, count(log_action)
FROM logging_userindex
WHERE log_action="thank"
AND LEFT(log_timestamp,6)="201501"
GROUP BY log_user_text
ORDER BY count(log_action) DESC
LIMIT 10;
// Top 10 thanked people in a month
SELECT log_title, count(log_action)
FROM logging_userindex
WHERE log_action="thank"
AND LEFT(log_timestamp,6)="201501"
GROUP BY log_title
ORDER BY count(log_action) DESC
LIMIT 10;
P.S. I would be cautious about interpretation. I am tempted to
automate some thanking, just for my name to float in the top 10 and
surprise everyone. ;-)
