Nice that GitLab is active upstream! Do I see correctly that the most active contributors to git are currently GitLab employees?

I dont know how you came to that conclusion. Just looking at the top 4 contributors over the last 2 years[1] it looks like one works for google(gitster), two work at Github and one works at GitLab(pks-t).

I had looked at the monthly activity. Indeed on a longer timespan it looks different, thanks.

That's weird I looked at the monthly and did not see any Gitlab employees. Were you looking at a different repo?

OP here. As of recently, GitLab has a dedicated Git team [1]. So our contributions to the project will hopefully increase a lot more :)
