features and bug fixes from over 78 contributors
Is it 79, then? Can’t even force myself to read this any further. Can someone from github of all places, please hire a writer who can actually write?

Maybe there were 78 committers. But other people contributed to the release in some other way (QA?), but that may be more difficult to count than just looking at the commit stats …

Sorry, I failed to relay my point. When somebody writes over x amount - it’s always a rounded number. This smells of either pre-highschool levels of language or some ML generated content.

The author of the blogpost is a developer, not a professional writer. Honestly I don’t understand why you’re so upset about it.

I’m upset about it because it lacks attention to detail. Language is tricky, but this is an attempt to use an expression without understanding what it is. The obvious choice would’ve been to not use it and state the numbers plainly.

Usually, also people who write in issues or discuss things are counted as contributors, but there it is pretty hard to figure out who contributed to this specific release
