Caveats
- GitHub’s public search +
git shortlogshow ~450 commits by@fluffyponyzaacross Monero repos up to early 2025; private or mirror contributions aren’t included. - Minor forks (e.g., experimental PoW tweak repos) are omitted if commit count < 3.
- Post-2021 contributions are mostly review comments or release tagging; the active maintainers today are binaryFate, Luigi1111, koe, selsta, et al.
