I think counting merges in "The Authors of Git" statistics give quite skewed numbers. If you are generating it with "shortlog", you probably would want to give --no-merges to the command line as well. Also it appears that you are not using .mailmap to avoid counting the same person as different people.

I find a tabular list like this list easier to read if it were sorted like this:

	A	D	G
        B	E	H
        C	F

i.e. not like this:

	A	B	C
        D	E	F
        G	H
