Now I'm doing the same for reviewers.\n\nThe reviewed-by trailer is the second most used, and according to the\ndocumentation must be expressly given.\n\nThe top reviewer of all time is Jonathan Nieder with 366 reviews (21% of\nall the reviews), but Taylor Blau is the top reviewer of the last year\nwith 65 reviews (25% of the reviews of the past year).\n\nBut from there the next 10% of reviewers have much less.\n\nTo be in the top 10% of all time you need more than 33 reviews, but to\nbe in the top 10% of last year you need 46.\n\nTo be in the top 25% all you need is more than 7 reviews, and of last\nyear only 6.\n\nThe median reviewer has only 2 reviews\n\nOnce again the distribution follows a power law distribution where a few\npeople do the vast majority of reviews, and most do only very few.\n\nAlso, it's worth noting that not everyone that does a review ends up\nwith a reviewed-by trailer, so the actual reviewers are likely more.\n\nIf anyone is interested in the script let me know, but it's pretty much\nthe same as the one for 1% of commit trailers.\n\nCheers.\n\n[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/60ad75ac7ffca_2ae08208b@natae.notmuch/\n\nAll time\n========\n\nTop 1%\n------\n  1.
