Of course I do agree that rating contribution automatically
cannot be taken seriously.
Still, it does provide some statistics (not only for projects,
but for contributors too).
The case with Dieter is simple - he did the most commits
to projects.archlinux.org over relatively short period.
I did around 20 commits in one day to NagVis project
(paid work on my job) and got +399 kudo positions
in Ohloh's global rank. :-P

I am thinking about merging Arch Linux Projects
into Arch Linux.
