Yes, GitHub alone actually has 2 full time employees and 1 contractor
who are entirely dedicated to the project. It also ships with the
GitHub for Mac product, so it's used in production by tens of
thousands every day. If any of you want to get involved, you can check
out the mailing list (libgit2@librelist.org) or (probably more
usefully) the GitHub project page:

https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2

Open tickets, contribute code, review PRs, etc.
