You are right — I didn't take the possibility of useless
tongue-in-cheek remarks into account when using that expression in
order to support a technical argument. Why don't you check the 20-year
commit history of the relevant code [1], make an educated guess wrt.
reviewers/committers ratio, account for developer attrition rate, and
return to us with a hopefully better estimate. Good luck!
