Were Magit a GNU project a few years ago, Richard would no doubt have a few less gray hairs and I would not have been the proverbial messenger whom Richard shot when trying to help him grok Git by using Magit. :-) There are likely more than a few of us who have learned Git via Magit and for which we are grateful to Jonas and the Magit contributors. I would implore the GNU leaders to bend over backwards to include projects like Magit which exemplify Free Software values and practices. I would go so far as to suggest that catalogs of GNU software also include a special category of software that fails the GNU stamp of approval by virtue of only missing copyright assignment to GNU.
