That doesn't sound believable. How did he come up with these numbers?

Looking through the commits?

  • You mean like this?

      $ git clone -q https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail.git
      $ git -C fetchmail/ shortlog -s | wc -l
      46
    

    OK, they started using git only in ~2010, so earlier commits are less likely to be attributed correctly, but still, that's not even the same order of magnitude.
