No.  What I mean is:  We agreed upon the thing that in Git repositories
we only regard changes done in the debian/ dir.  This *only* affects Git
because in the case of SVN we do store debian/ dir exclusively anyway.
Due to the hint of David Bremner in our DebConf 11 BoF you managed to
implement this for commitstats.  However, as I noticed now in
commitlines also people are showing up who only and exclusively
contribute upstream code in prominent places.  For instance rank 2 is
Andreas_H and 3 is Sébastien_B in Debian Med but they should not be
ranked that high regarding their commitment to the *packaging*.  So my
suspicion is that commitlines remains regarding any random commit.

I'd regard it an appropriate action to tear down commitlines completely.
If you think it should remain working than it should be fixed to have
reasonable results.

Well, we should not show wrong graphs - so commitlines should not be
part of the live version (except you consider it worth fixing.)

Kind regards
