Hey, Today I was checking mediawiki/core in github: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki And number of contributors is now 400. It might be a little more if we count SVN era. To me, it's an important milestone. More important than number of commits or releases. It's about people not numbers or lines of code.

Hi, according to the CREDITS file there are 646 contributors :)
The commits from SVN era are confounded in both directions. On one hand, like Brian says, people who still commit today are counted double. On the other, patches that were submitted through Bugzilla or mailing lists by one-time contributors are counted under the name of the committer who applied them (and not the real author), unlike today when you submit them through Gerrit.
And not long before we hit 75,000 commits! :D

https://www.openhub.net/p/mediawiki tends to be more accurate (people at least can easily de-duplicate email addresses etc.) and says 700+.
Do help https://www.openhub.net/orgs/wikimedia by adding more repositories and claiming more email address/commit IDs for yourself. :)

Actually, that's probably double counting svn contributors, since svn contributors are in the git history under a different email then they currently used (If they are still around).
Nonetheless, that's a nice milestone.

The different email is solved in mediawiki/core via the .mailmap file at the root of the repository. Lets one define emails alias and a canonical email.

Every milestones are good to announce and most importantly to celebrate!
