The Linux Foundation has made some analyzation the past two years into just how much code is being added to the project and who is doing that contribution. This year's report is out, and the results are actually quite smile-worthy if you're a Linux advocate: the increase in code contributions is phenomenal, the rate at which these contributions are being submitted is faster, and there are more individual developers than previously.

Where did you see that? All of the sketchy information I saw indicated that Google was going to use the same design philosophy as Android--a Linux kernel with a completely different OS stack.
It makes sense they would use some GNU libraries, but unless they use nearly all of them it will take porting to make a traditional application run on Chrome.
Which piece are you asking about? You agree that it will use Linux as the OS, and agree it will probably use some GNU applications and libraries. There was a link earlier to information that it will not be X-Windows based. So what exactly are you questioning?
