That graph doesn’t list him as a “huge” contributor at all… bought into the project. Committed after 4 months. Small contribution compared to others.

I should start listing projects I worked on at early stage as creator.

Claiming to be “creator” is disingenuous. Worked on it. Yes. Big contribution over a year before moving onto other things. Yes. Creator? No.

I think you might have missed the “not” in my comment. I agree on the numbers but would not second guess whatever happened internally since I have no knowledge of how that worked.

You’re right. I did miss the not. Sorry!

Here’s the original NuGet source tree

I stand corrected. Sorry.

I don't think that's a complete view as nuget started on codeplex (!) and I think the commit history wasn't imported fully (mine is missing)

Nothing disingenuous about it. He was on the original team that prototyped and then built NuGet.

He wrote the core dependency management engine among other things. His contribution only seems small now only because the project has been around a long time with many new contributors since he’s moved on.

But you can rewind the git history to see he had a huge impact as a creator. I say this as the PM of team that built NuGet.

Weren't we working Codeplex at the time too? So I'm not convinced that the history is all there in github.
