I frequently using "git shortlog -ns" to see who is active (especially coupled with "--since=".

I also use "--no-merges", because it makes me look a lot better when compared relatively to Junio. :) I agree with you that "--no-merges" means we don't capture all the work that goes into integrating. But there's a lot of work that isn't reflected in commit count (reviewing, bug triage, the fact that some commits are much bigger than others, etc). So at best it's a starting point for figuring out who participates.
