Numbers are doubtful?

I mean, sure, one could fabricate them, but why, especially if he can easily be caught doing it? Those are things anybody can verify by looking at the repository stats.

Here's what I found with a cursory look: Google has overtook Apple in commits 2-3 years already:

Older stats (already Google on top): http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2010/02/webkit-...
