Published two report summarizing statistics on contributors to GTK 4 and GNOME development. When looking at the dynamics of the number of contributors to GNOME development, the peak was in 2010, in which more than 1400 people contributed to the code. After 2010, the activity began to decline, which lasted until 2017. The peak correlates with the development of GNOME 3.0, which began in 2009 and continued throughout 2010 alongside the GNOME 2.x branch.
