Perhaps this is the gist of the problem: the 180 count was not "patch
submitters" but "people who helped develop 7.4" whether or not they actually
submitted a bona fide patch. If it was just patches, the number would
probably be about 50 or so, I would estimate. It's certainly a fuzzy line,
but I'd argue that somebody who points out a memory leak that is subsequently
patched by Tom should get credit as a "developer", even if no actual patch
was submitted.

I'll give it a go for 8.0 and see what number I come up with.
