My idea exactly. Where does it say that lines of code equate to
contribution to the Project? E.g. I think we can agree that folks
like admins_at_, donations_at_, www_at_ etc do very useful work which does
not equate to lines of code.

I feel this is an utterly useless discussion.

Followups to -chat.
