  ... or was it really him? IIRC, anyone could lay claim to that email address for their PR and github would resolve that to his account.

    The repo is for the divelog software he wrote himself. So I'm pretty sure that it's either him or it would get caught real fast if it wasn't.

  As a more nuanced interpretation: If one looks at the green lines, it's more about Linus "editing some existing cpp and h files". If there are green lines showing Linus originating new code with "class xyz : superABC {};" ... that would be more interesting. :-) For some more context of the diving software, there's a video presenting the rationale for migrating from Gtk to Qt: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gtk+qt https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gtk+qt
