Integrating with MediaWiki SVN

We've recently started moving our most stable and popular extensions into the MediaWiki SVN repository, so that they can evolve through the collaboration of the main developers of the MediaWiki project. We've also started developing the main MediaWiki code-base to allow support for the SQLite and Microsoft SQL Server database engines. Below is a list of the extensions we've moved into SVN.

I was wondering how many of the SVN committers are active and how often, so I made a PERL script to read in all the commits (svn-report.pl) and another (svn-results.pl) to format the results into monthly totals as shown below. The core commits are those changes made to the MediaWiki code-base (the phase3 branch) rather than those made to other areas of the repository such as extension code. The resulting statistics are in the MediaWiki SVN Statistics article.
