Top 10 Organizations

Note on "Unaffiliated" contributors: 7,273 contributions (28%) came from contributors with no organization data available. Some contributors choose not to disclose their affiliation, while others simply haven't filled in their LFX or GitHub profiles. This does not necessarily indicate grassroots or independent contributors — many may work for companies that are not reflected in the data.
