About yearly, we seem to get another article saying "look! are the biggest contributors to ". These articles come across as PR pieces since they point to data saying who is the biggest contributing company without putting it into context. Like, does contribute 0.5%, 5% or 50% of all activity? Instead the talk about things like "the top leading corporate contributors", leaving out non-"leading" contributors, non-corporate contributors, etc. theregister.com/2023/02/24/who

"NPM, Microsoft, the world's largest free software registry."

That came across as some PR piece for M$. I don't even know if it's true (and don't care), but it came across as *implying* M$'s huge contribution to Free Software.
