How did you calculate this? I don't see how it could be right. For example, Ævar's contribution, while being impressively large lately, is only 12877 lines total over all commits, let alone surviving lines:

  $ git log --pretty=format: --numstat --author=Bjarmason |
    perl -ne '/^\d+/ and $total += $&; END { print "$total\n"; }'
  12877
