MODERATORS
Sorry, I failed to relay my point. When somebody writes over x amount - it's always a rounded number. This smells of either pre-highschool levels of language or some ML generated content.
The author of the blogpost is a developer, not a professional writer. Honestly I don't understand why you're so upset about it.
I'm upset about it because it lacks attention to detail. Language is tricky, but this is an attempt to use an expression without understanding what it is. The obvious choice would've been to not use it and state the numbers plainly.
Perhaps the numbers are not plainly available as the previous commenter stated, and they wanted to call out the direct contribution of the 78 unique commit authors, without disregarding many other indirect contributions from commenters, reviewers, testers etc.
