Modules of 2.30. Module maintenance is over the last two years. The time frame for the commit table isn't explicitly listed. Looking at the modules in 2.30 might mean the full history of the modules involved just as well as 2.28 to 2.30. The later is susceptible to fluctuations, Ubuntu had an upcoming LTS release that would have gobbled up resources for example.

According to the chart linked in the summary...

70.2% contribute in their spare time and
19.9% contribute in both their spare time and professionally

The summary said only 23% volunteers, it is actually over 90%. If they were referring to the raw volume of code, isn't that number likely a little skewed considering that 20% of the developers both volunteer and get paid meaning their contributions belong in the volunteer category since they'd be (and are still) contributing anyway?

If you look at the maintainance map, you can see that Redhat is relavant in several areas, but most of it is volunteer. Canonical is not so relevant here (except for the default theme and the calculator -- lol).

Imagine your company was structured like that. Or that you'd have to sell this plan to your stakeholders. :) But it works!

The Gnome census report says Redhat represents 16% of all Gnome upstream contributions while Ubuntu contributes 1%.
