I can't remember for certain which one I was looking at; it might have been 2._6_26_whole_line.html or 2.6.27's whole_line.html:
# No.1 Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> 42263 # No.2 Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 1165 # No.3 Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> 42 # No.4 Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org> 35 # No.5 Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> 14
Of the above technically only Linus Torvalds is an _employee_ of the Linux Foundation. I'm technically an employee of IBM, but I'm on loan to the Linux Foundation.
One of the things which get confusing is that people's employers change over time, so if you are mapping engineers to company, it's not enough to use just an e-mail address and map it to a company name; ideally you need to take an e-mail address and/or name and date range, and then map that to a compay name. For example Alan Cox was previously at Red Hat, but he will be changing employers to Intel as of some date in January, 2009, but he will be keeping his e-mail address.
