Lines are git's count across every file, including the generated ones the author committed. A pull request's commits are counted under the person who made them, so a contributor's commits and merged pull requests are the same work seen twice. Git author names were joined to GitHub logins by hand (admin/build/gen_contributors.py); the raw data is under admin/content/github/.
