Since 8.5alpha1:
$ git diff --shortstat origin/REL8_5_ALPHA1_BRANCH origin/master
618 files changed, 43682 insertions(+), 24382 deletions(-)

That was on Aug 19th, which was about 63 days ago. However, to be
meaningful, we should subtract away the changes to the .po files, which
are generated.

So, 43682 + 24382 - 9889 (de.po) - 3831 (fr.po) = 54344

54355/63.0 = 862 lines/day.

Not bad. That's essentially one commitfest period, so it would be
interesting to compare with others, as well.
