The Hacker News
Linux Kernal Change Logs figures were published on Thursday in an LWN.net article :

  • 343 Changes made by Microsoft developer K. Y. Srinivasan
  • 1,085 change provided by independent developers
  • Red Hat provided 1,000 Changes in Kernal 3.0
  • Intel provide 839 changes
Srinivasan comes in at the top because he made a lot of minor changes. Srinivasan and Microsoft are therefore nearer the bottom of the list. LWN.net found that Microsoft developers changed 11,564 lines of code (1.3 per cent) – compared to Intel's 163,232 (18.1 per cent).
