I'm just a git user and (very) occasional contributor. There's not much structure to the git community. Anyone who wants git to change can post a patch (or patch series) to this list. The patch can touch any area of the code, and it's considered good manners to CC whoever last touched the part(s) of the code being patched. The patch is discussed and revised as needed, and eventually the patch thread's participants arrive at a consensus as to whether or not the patch should become a part of git. If the patch is accepted the git maintainer (Junio C. Hamano) shepherds the patch through git's release process. See this note: http://git-blame.blogspot.ca/p/a-note-from-maintainer.html for more about that and other aspects of the git development community. M.
