Nope. At the moment, the company that commits the most code to
PostgreSQL is whoever is of course Crunchy, because they employ Tom
Lane. (I assume that's why Stephen is bringing the topic up.)
EnterpriseDB is second, because they employ me. 2ndQuadrant is third.
This is true whether you total by primary author or by who actually
committed the code.

Granted, those statistics are only for 2016. I'm sure it's been
different in years past and will be again in the future, but I'll bet
the top company has rarely been anything other than Tom Lane's current
employer.
