Fun facts
| Number of contributors to gnome-shell code (ie, the js and src directories) | 40 |
| Number of contributors to gnome-shell code who work for Red Hat | 8 |
| Percentage of gnome-shell code written by Red Hat by lines | 91% |
Which, I'll admit, does make it look like gnome-shell is controlled by the sinister Red Hat shadowman that rejects external contributions in order to keep a tight reign on the project and prevent Canonical from improving the desktop Linux experience. Let's check Unity.
| Number of contributors to Unity code (ie, the unity and unity-priv directories) | 10 |
| Number of contributors to Unity code who work for Canonical | 10 |
| Percentage of Unity code written by Canonical by lines | 100% |
Yup, it's a conspiracy.
