Do you think you'd end up creating C APIs, to make this competitive with libgit2?

I am not interested in competing with libgit2, and have no plans in adding and maintaining C-bindings to the project. This doesn't mean, however, that other parties couldn't maintain them out-of repo at first, and once things stabilize, it just makes sense to make them part of an organization that maintains it along with the project. After all, C-bindings open it up to be used in interpreters, which might be especially interesting for users of `GitPython`. It has been around for a decade and is definitely in for an alternative (I am the author and maintainer of that one, too).
