A general comment on git stats: don't try to get more than what they
really mean, especially when it comes to ranking.
Running automatic formatting on a 500 lines file will look as 500
commited lines, for instance. Counting lines is unfair.
Or one guy will work for months on a project, then send everything
(plenty lines) in one single commit. Commit count: 1. Counting commits
is unfair.
Some obvious junk stats can be avoided (e.g. lines of mesh/data files in
example folders are ignored [1]), but the numbers are still meaningless
if one doesn't know what's behind.
I would keep the authors in alphabetic order after V. Smilauer, like before.

A question for Jan (Stransky): I guess you commited Jan Elias code under
your name because I don't see him anywhere. Correct?
Do you remember if there was some related documentation in rst files or
only documentation in source code?
