For clarity, Tarsius is not the original creator of Magit, that would be Marius Vollmer (https://github.com/mvollmer https://github.com/mvollmer). Tarsius is "just" the current maintainer and most prolific contributor. I'd strongly recommend contributing to the kickstarter if you use Magit, however. I donated $100 and felt that was not near what it's actually been worth to me. Don't think that just because it's fully funded you shouldn't bother, there's good reason to keep contributing: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/71viq3/the_magit_kickstarter_has_reached_its_goal_heres/ https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/71viq3/the_magit_kic...

From the campaign description: "I would like to thank [Marius] and the maintainers who came later, for I would not even have known that I needed something like Magit had they not laid the groundwork in the early days of Git." Not trying to undersell my own work - elsewhere I also write: "Despite all this, it would be wrong to assume that Magit started out with a predefined set of interface concepts and abstractions, and all that was left to be done was incrementally filling in the gaps." Oh, and thanks for you contribution.
