This is weird :) We recently moved to github (where recent is a few days), so I wonder if that's linked

Also, numpy is not mainly written in modula-2.



Hmm I don't see a denial of the "Very few source code comments" analysis... ;)


Nope, nor does it need one. Source comments are weakly correlated with code quality :)

Moreoever, you have to be careful about numbers of lines-based statistics for numpy and scipy, because a lot of code is generated or 3rd party libraries (that are integrated because no distribution has them packaged, not even debian). Also, cloc gives me vastly different numbers, with a lot of comments and all (but again, not very meaningful because of generated/integrated code). ohlo stats are not very reliable in my experience, at least for the packages I am involved with.
