@matthewbauer i forked your gist and added maintainers, so i can calculate the average packages per maintainer.
It's really high for nixpkgs, what means a lot of work and responsibility weigh on the people, but also that our system is quiet efficient, especially when you look at how many packages are up-to-date!
Where did you find Red Hat and Mandrake on repology? Do the package sets have a different name?
