Here are the numbers:

    dist | quilt | dpatch
  -------|----------------
   sarge |    11 |    485
  -------|-------|--------
    etch |   338 |   1185
  -------|-------|--------
   lenny |   515 |   1393
  -------|-------|--------
     sid |   598 |   1505

I believe it's very appropriate to at least mention quilt in the new
maintainer guide.

Cheers,
