mbp, robertc and obviously from the email address andrew.bennetts, but
we don't know how many time they devote to bzr during their paid hours.

For the others, I don't know (I don't think John and Aaron were employed
by canonical, at least in 2k6 they weren't).

By the way this criticism can be found in ohlo too:
http://www.ohloh.net/p/bazaar
But since the import of the bzr history looks buggy it probably doesn't
mean anything useful (they only found 3 devs).

They might commit patches in their name with the patch author listed in
the commit message too (I didn't check your data).

regards,

Benoit
