Beware of how those numbers are calculated.
When we were using hg, patches were typically committed by core developers, so only core developers appeared as "contributors" in the hg log.
Right, that's why I wrote:
"Well, Git allows to store the original author, so statistics are simplify higher just because previously the tools failed to identify the real author."
I asked Mercurial developers if they would like to add a "committer" field, but this feature was never implemented :-(
