As the supposed #2 contributor to the project (with 3 commits), I'd say it's far more likely that the README is simply the most visible piece of the project (or was, before the website was released today) and people contribute back typo fixes as they encounter errors.

It's possible, but it's also standard practice on github to submit even minor typos or spelling errors via a pull request, and that automatically makes you a contributor if accepted. So there's not necessarily anything nefarious going on.

Not nefarious, but definitely something to keep in mind if you recruit via github committer lists :)

I accept any reasonable pull request, even if it's a spelling fix. There have been some great bug fix pulls as well.

`git summary` from git-extras is great.
