The last five years were so grateful and incredible time to me. I earned many lessons and friends, much more than I expected. It was all owing to the great DAMON community. According to my humble script [2], 143 people contributed 1,427 commits and 49,123 lines of changes to DAMON in the last five years. $ ./lazybox/version_control/authors.py ./linux --since v5.14 \ --linux_subsystems DAMON --skip_merge_commits --total_only # 143 authors, 1427 commits in total $ ./lazybox/version_control/authors.py ./linux --since v5.14 \ --linux_subsystems DAMON --sortby lines --skip_merge_commits \ --total_only # 143 authors, 49123 lines in total Huge thanks to all the contributions. Hopefully DAMON didn't only take but also gave some fun and wins to people. I will also try to give back more to the community. I'm looking forward to the next five years.
