I'm not against somebody putting that together, but I don't think it
would be useful for me. I think it would inflate the numbers for
committers by quite a lot more than what is fair, because if I commit
a 1000 line patch and I add 50 lines of code, I'm going to get an
awful lot more credit than I deserve. It would probably also inflate
or distort the numbers for some other people as well. But what I would
say is -- if you think it's a useful thing, try doing it.
