As just one of the people active in the Git development community, as the maintainer of the project, and saying things on behalf of "the Git project". The distinction between the latter two may be subtle, but it matters to me. And in my mind, I write the Release Notes on behalf of the project. * The performance of "git blame" has been greatly improved. Thanks David Kastrup for his huge effort. is perhaps as far as I can go in that capacity, without singling out one contributor among 80+ contributors with changes between 1.9 and 2.0 (among which a dozen or so have more than 10 patches---some are trivial and patch count alone does not do justice, though) with similar "pay them to show your appreciation" pleas. I however feel that I can certainly do that as an active (and highly visible) contributor, and even as the maintainer. I guess we probably can add "See $URL if you are interested in his further plans" after that two-line item and let you write whatever you want at that page pointed at by the URL, though.
