If we would move User1 to the "others" group at 20%, then it would
maybe be mathematically correct. But it wouldn't really be useful:

Imagine a project where user1 does 95% of all commits (it's his
project), but the other 5% are done by testers.

You only could change between 0 and 5% so see any changes in the
graph. After 5%, you would only see *one* bar/line. That's not
interesting at all.

So: it's done so that even with 100%, you will see at least two bars
(if there *are* more than one committer). One bar/line isn't
interesting, so why waste a whole 50% of the slider for that?
