Yeah, there are only about 8 good ones that are really distinctive, and
then after about 20 you can get into some hairy situations. It's not
that bad though because usually an off-green is next to an off-red or
something. It's only bad when a color and two of its off-colors are all
close.
Let's not forget the color-blind and the monochrome screen-users.
I might have it wrap after 10 but add a hover feature
that will
pop up the contributor's name.
I would strongly suggest using such a hover feature. Pop-ups with links
to details might be rather more useful, actually, enabling popping over
to the specific diff that made the change.
I do fear how this stuff is going to work on pages with tens of
thousands of edits, but... ;)
