It probably helps that since 824503ce88 (SubmittingPatches: clarify 'git-contacts' location, 2024-04-18) there has been a note stating this isn't "part of the core `git` binary and must be called directly." That is relatively recent, though. I added git-contacts to the Fedora git packaging shortly after 92a5dbbc22 (SubmittingPatches: mention the git contacts command, 2018-04-11), presuming some readers would want to use it. (I never want to penalize users who are diligent enough to read SubmittingPatches. :) All that said, I don't have any strong opinion on whether it is kept or removed, let alone when that might happen. I don't know that I've ever used it, other than for testing that it worked while packaging it. -- Todd
