Re: [Gnu-arch-users] Maintainership, and whiners...

(sorry about the previous mail.  Pressed the wrong
key)

To put it simply, all these five or so forks were
started from a single person's work.

And don't forget GNU Guile, the scheme implementation.
 Whether it is doing OK or not, it was an important
piece of free software historically, even though not
much related to revision control.

All started from Tom Lord.  Good or bad, Tom Lord can
be a great contributor to Free Software and the
software industry as a whole.  Not many people have
the privileges of being the sources of five forks. 
Even if some day Martin Pool takes over to become the
leader of the revision control field, he cannot deny
the contributions of Tom Lord.
