Let me thank all the contributors, both long timers and relatively newer ones, for working on the system to help our users better. But I should not forget to thank others who help us by doing things other than writing code. Writing code is not the only work on the software. Some contributors are good at polishing documentation, which we the developer types are not particulary good at. Others help new developers to get up to speed, mentoring them in programs like the summer of code and Outreachy. There are folks who help us with legal work to manage and defend our trademark, which is taken care of by Software Freedom Conservancy, which the project is part of. Employers of "professional" Git contributors support the project by letting/making us work on Git, admittedly with their own agenda, but without necessarily being 'evil'---a particular area of interest they support, be it the lazy-clone scalability work, or more aggressive recursing into submodules, would eventually benefit all users. Thanks all, and let's look forward to see the next 15 years be as wondreful years for Git as the past 15 years ;-)
