[$] Some 4.12 development statistics
Linus Torvalds released the 4.12 kernel onJuly 2, marking the end of one of the busiest development cycles in the kernel project'shistory. Tradition requires that LWN publish a look at this kernel releaseand who contributed to it. 4.12 was, in many ways, a fairly normal cycle,but it shows the development community's continued growth.
