One thing I noticed is that Homebrew has an extremely high number. But I
suspect this is because it has a very large number of somewhat silo'd
files. That is, people work on package formulas for projects that
interest them, but what you really care about for the health of the
project is who is working on the base system. Maybe those formula
authors could step up, or maybe not, but I'm not sure that is reflected
in this analysis.
