    But there were more contributors, you just don’t know how many. By this you’re kind of disregarding their work.

      No there aren’t, stop making things up. From the official release notes:

      The latest feature release Git v2.42.0 is now available at the
      usual places.  It is comprised of 453 non-merge commits since
      v2.41.0, contributed by 78 people, 17 of which are new faces

        78 people contributed in the form of code commits, but more people likely contributed to the release in other ways (QA, triage, release management etc.)

          Fuck me. Can you not read? It is stating specifically features and bug fixes. QA, triage, release management are neither features nor bug fixes. They’re processes. They’re necessary. But that’s a separate thing.
