Fedora more successful, developer-wise, than Ubuntu
Statistics are interesting. Every Fedora Project Contributor gets an @fedoraproject.org alias. So I’m presuming, this number is greater than just package maintainers…
Fedora, via Max Spevack:
- non-RH maintainers: 276
- RH maintainers: 202
total @fedoraproject.org aliases for package maintainers: 478
Ubuntu, via Daniel Robitaille:
- 348
total @ubuntu.com aliases: 348
By the above, does it mean Fedora is way more successful than Ubuntu? Some detractors will say, RH has a lot more package maintainers than Canonical can afford. Sure. But an @fedoraproject.org “Fedora Membership” also extends to ambassadors, translators, etc. and not just package maintainers (so the number, 478 up there, is woefully under-reported). Sadly, I couldn’t find a nice easy way to show all the @fedoraproject.org aliases via the online pkgdb application.
Long gone are the days where these aliases were maintained in /etc/aliases by Seth and I ;-)
