That's 9 PRs vs, as someone pointed out below, roughly 41000 commits in the project.

Disclosure: I work at Amazon on cloud infrastructure, but not directly on the codebase being discussed here.

Someone pointed out elsewhere:

  *Correction after looking a bit closer, I think Amazon has submitted at least 600 PRs, they only listed 9 in the blog post. That's better but it still doesn't change the fact their business model doesn't allow the companies they're building on the backs of to have a sustainable revenue stream.

The other comment claiming 600 Amazon PRs was mistaken:

That's counting emails. Unlike other Git-based projects like the Linux kernel, it seems a lot of commits are made with users.noreply.github.com email addresses. For example.

Not claiming every git commit uses work emails

Referring to the fact that the original 600 Amazon PR claim was rescinded in that thread

Got it. Thank you for mentioning it here. Comments are getting a bit unwieldy to stay on top of.
