Trust me, I tried with logarithmic axes. The result was noisy and not very gratifying.

What about a cumulative graph? One that displays: 5% of developers made 60% of changes. 20% made 75% of changes, etc. This will show how many work is being done by the 'small contributors'. I don't have the R code handy (and it is a long time ago) but I think it was plot(ecdf(x)).

That idea came up during review. It would probably have been a better plot, but I didn't have time to do it.
