One problem for Ohloh is that all commits are seen as equal and that
committing somebody else's work is seen as your own. For example, loop
versioning written by the University of Manchester appears as work
originally done by Dave. Consequently the trackers are a much fairer
reflection of work done (as a tracker item is something that would
make it into the release notes).
