FFmpeg's future and resigning as leader

That's incorrect. Those statistics include all the MERGE commits from libav into FFmpeg, which happen several time per day. Michael did not do 1500 commits more than the second commiter.

No, those statistics exclude merge commits . Here's the command that generated those outputs [1]:

  git shortlog -ns --no-merges v11..HEAD | head -n15

  git shortlog -ns --no-merges n2.4..HEAD | head -n15

Michael Niedermayer is an EXTREMELY prolific dev who has been banging out FFMPEG code for more than a decade. It's by no means a one-man show, many other devs make large and valuable contributions - but in relative terms Niedermayer absolutely dominates FFMPEG, both in terms of personality and code output.

This remove only merge commits, but the commits themself are from libav

But they'll have the correct author against them, no?
