Random shout out for @brainblasted who has done amazing work right across @gnome 40 adapting apps to new patterns and fixing longstanding UX bugs
This will be an amazing release and a lot of that is thanks to Chris
Another is @exalm who somehow pulls amazing demos out of thin air and does a lot of behind-the-scenes plumbing for both shell and apps. They give us pretty animations, gestures and all manner of adaptiveness
This list is by no means definitive, there are a great number of individuals behind @gnome keeping everything moving forwards
We often talk of programmers and designers, but what about the documenters and translators quietly working in the background?
There is no "gnome devs" - it's a bizarre group of talented people doing far more than just "dev" and often with conflicting visions yet all trying to make GNOME the best it can be
