Sorry, wrong link.  Here's a better one:

http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2011/msg00497.html

More fundamentally, your question seems to assume some kind of shared
plan regarding what people work on, rather than each person choosing
to work on what they consider valuable without having to justify it to
others.  I am very happy with Felipe's work on git's completion code
and don't think it does any harm to efforts elsewhere.

Thanks for your interest,
Jonathan
