If it's the site I'm thinking of, there isn't one single person compiling this data but rather people submitting and people approving if it seems reasonable enough. However there are more ways than 1 to count the circuits, manufacturers probably didn't even agree on that and as was said, I don't think that metric really is that useful under all circumstances.
