That number is not very interesting in itself, since Github indeed makes
it easy to submit and integrate small fixes.  So you can have many
occasional contributors but very few regular contributors keen on
tackling non-trivial tasks.

It would be more interesting to know how many of those contributors
submitted several (for example 5 or more) non-trivial fixes or improvements.
