Actually it is not true that activity drops in the summer. I have made a
Google spreadsheet showing the number of commits per month from July 2002 to
July 2011 based on the svn log and the results show that the largest number
of commits happened in August 2009 and the 3rd largest happened in August
2010.

While it is true that the number of commits is lower than average right now,
it is nothing to worry about. The number of commits have been at this level
before and there is no reason to believe that it won't pick up again like it
has in the past.

If you are bored and looking for more activity in the commit log I suggest
going to http://dev.haiku-os.org/ and search for tickets with patches. I
know that I have several tickets there with patches "ready to go" fixing
minor issues in Deskbar and Tracker. I am sure that others have patches that
could use some attention too.
