Hi all,

I have been using Vim for more than 25 years and contributing to
the Vim development for 20 years. I have captured my contributions
to Vim over the years in the following page:

Impressive, your contributions have helped many Vim users!

I wonder why you wrote it down now. Applying for a job?

No. :-). I have never used my Vim contributions to further my
professional career.

Cool. Nice achievement. I started following vim development around
version 7.3 so not quite as much as your contribution count :)

Very much appreciated your contributions!

Best,
Christian

Thanks very much for all your efforts but especially for the less glamorous refactoring and testing work.

Have you got another twenty years in you? :)

Regards,
Doug
