Ted, No suspicion about the list, just curious.

By SOF and AB we can collect people who contributed most changesets to kernel.
But, how about those who contributed most lines and not so many changesets?

For example:

Obviously, some people contributed a lot of lines to kernel, but their
patch number is not so remarkable.
