The list would not be updated for now. Don't write comments.

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Because of GitHub search limitations, only 1000 first users according to amount of followers are included. If you are not in the list you don't have enough followers. See raw data and source code. Algorithm in pseudocode:

I often use dispatch queues for locking, and this function just makes life SO MUCH EASIER. Accidental deadlocks in more complex code paths are a PITA otherwise. But Apple deprecated dispatch_get_current_queue with iOS6?
nline void pspdf_dispatch_sync_reentrant(dispatch_queue_t queue, dispatch_block_t block) {
dispatch_get_current_queue() == queue ? block() : dispatch_sync(queue, block);
}
