vxjasonv: thanks, I know addy is incredibly busy, but for my own sanity I'm wondering why something in his book was a certain way (basically there's a gap in my understanding if there's a reason for my pr not getting merged)

Hey, would it be appropriate to email a project maintainer on why they didn't merge a PR? I submitted something (small) to Addy Osmani's backbone book 2 weeks ago, and am wondering if there was something wrong with it

nevik: there's an api service for getting the list of contributors to a repo, with total number of contributions for each. It's not perfect though, adding it up doesn't yield the same number as what github shows when you go to a project page

offby1: If accurate (and it might be off because of anonymous contributions and commits from deleted branches) it would still require a bunch of api requests to get the entire commit history for a project

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the total number of commits to a repo through the github api? It's possible through the web interface, but I don't know how much data I can extract from that before I get blocked
