The git commit numbers look way off, for the reasons you mentioned below.
These numbers are more accurate (at least with regard to OpenStack - AFAIK they mine teh data from github.com/openstack) : [...]
I think this is a better link, listing Apache CloudStack: http://www.ohloh.net/p/compare?project_0=OpenStack&project_1=Eucalyptus&project_2=Apache+CloudStack

Is he missing any public discussion forums about OpenStack of import that we should bring to his attention?
I think he's missing a lot of discussions that don't happen on openstack.org. domains, like the discussions on meetup.com, google groups, G+, Facebook group, etc. Some of these stats we don't track either (yet), but we're pushing forward an effort to consolidate these sources and give users a better/easiest way to find peers. For example, we now host mailing lists in non-english languages on lists.openstack.org (at the moment Vietnamese, Italian and Spanish) and we're starting a project for a user group portal that will aggregate things from meetup.com.
His also mines the git repos for quantum, keystone, glance, horizon, swift, cinder, and nova. This misses the contributions by incubation projects, preincubation projects, the infrastructure projects, and client projects.
That's the least solid part of his report. Ohloh does a better job, even if the way OpenStack uses git and github makes numbers less comparable across projects. The lack of source code for the git analysis on ohloh and john's report makes both of them less of a 'reliable source' for quote to me. /stef -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org
