I have done a few previous blog posts on who has contributed to PostgreSQL, but I did not do one last year. A couple people mentioned to me that they missed it, so I decided to do one this year, and I decided to gather statistics, using basically the same methodology that I have in the past, for both 2020 and 2021. As always, it is important to remember, first, that many people contribute to the project in ways that these statistics don't capture, and second, that the statistics themselves are prone to mistakes (since there is a bunch of manual work involved) and bias (since each commit is attributed to the first author for lack of knowledge of the relative contributions of the various authors). As usual, I have posted a dump of the database I used to generate this in case anyone wants to check it over for goofs or use it for any other purpose.
I calculate that there were 176 people who were the principal author of at least one PostgreSQL commit in 2020 and 182 such people in 2021. In 2020, 13 people contributed 66% of the lines of new code, and 35 people contributed 90% of the lines of new code. In 2021, these numbers were 14 and 41 respectively. In 2020, there were a total of 2181 commits from 26 committers, and in 2021, there were 2269 commits from 28 committers. In each year, about 5 committers committed about two thirds of the non-self-authored patches, with Tom Lane leading the pack in both years.
Here are the top 35 contributors by lines of new code contributed in 2020. Asterisks indicate non-committers. Note that some of these people are committers now but were not committers at the time.

Finally, let's look at who sent a lot of emails to pgsql-hackers each year. Many of these people are also prolific patch authors, but some of them are more involved in discussion and review than in actually writing code. Here is everyone who sent at least 100 emails to the list in 2020.

I apologize if these email numbers are not completely accurate, and especially to our contributors from China and Japan. Some people posted under multiple names, or using names not written in the character set with which I am most familiar, and I did my best to figure out which posts were actually from the same person and how to best render that person's name. However, I suspect that I have not been able to be entirely consistent about the ordering of family names as opposed to given names, and I may have made some other mistakes as well. I apologize for and regret my errors.
As always, thanks to all who have contributed in any way, whether these lists capture that contribution or not!
