Thanks a lot for this insight. We've been playing a bit with our
database, and these are the results [long message].

We have focused on tickets reaching the state of "Fixed Committed", as
Mark McLoughlin and Michael Still sugeested.

First of all, there is the issue of which tickets to consider. We have
considered tickets being closed during the Grizzly release cycle, and
for all OpenStack trackers (complete list of what we're considering as
"all trackers" is in http://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack. As you will
see, numbers below are different from those commented by Mark, I wonder
if this is because either the list of trackers or the date condition is
different for his study.

Anyway, we've found 2,806 tickets transitioning to "Fix committed" at
least once during the periodm with a total of 3,784 transitions of that
kind.

Of those, we have tracked the asignee at the time of the transitioning,
finding 387 different identities, which according to our records
correspond to 329 different persons. Of those, we have identified
companies for 228, which amount for 2,084
