GoKawiilLinux 7.2 draws record 2,652 contributors, second-highest commit count ever
The Linux 7.2 kernel merged 16,418 non-merge commits, more than the previous 7.1 release and second only to 6.7 in total history, according to LWN's Kernel Source Database. Unlike 6.7, where commit volume was skewed by the bcachefs merge, 7.2's activity was spread across many subsystems. A record 2,652 developers contributed, up from 2,479 in 7.1, with Uwe Kleine-König, Rosen Penev and Ian Rogers topping the list by number of changesets.
