"who made the kernel" was an interesting and useful exercise, but if you
like irony then...

- The way to boost your commit count is to submit buggy patches and to
  then fix your own bugs.

- The way to lower your commit count is to fix things in other people's
  patches, then fold your fix into the base patch.  I've lost over 1000
  commits that way.  Unless they are counting '^    [akpm' as a commit.
