In general the numbers from ohloh.net have to be taken with a salt of grain. New repositories are missing. E.g. kscreen is missing, bodega is missing, the gsoc project I'm mentoring is missing, etc. etc. It's not auto-synced with KDE's project files.
Also the drop down in the stats a few years ago is rather pointless. It's when KDE started to switch from svn to git. As a matter of fact people used the svn repository also as a "scratch" area. With git that completely goes away. Creating a local repo is rather trivial and even if you want to backup it on KDE infrastructure you just create a scratch repository which will never make it to ohloh.net.
Number of commits is also pointless as in SVN times the number of commits was about twice the number of what we have in git as we did backports. Nowadays we do merges. So the number goes down obviously.
So in summary: awesome graph! Unfortunately not telling what it looks like.
