Launchpad doesn't get a lot of external contributors, but their
patches almost always land in production promptly. I suspect Launchpad
is comparable to Twisted in this regard.
Well, part of the hypothesis of the effects of moving to Github is that a) the clear separation between "core contributor" and "random contributor" because a bit more subtle, b) it becomes easier for external contributors to contribute. So yeah, I guess it is, but it'd be cool if it became a bit more open to contributions from the more general public :)

but gives some idea.
Cool, thanks for the link. I had no idea there were that many.
