Ryan definitely deserves credit for the initial development of node.js. But that phrasing makes it sound like he moved from node to deno - which isn't the case.

Ryan definitely deserves credit for the initial development of node.js. But that phrasing makes it sound like he moved from node to deno - which isn't the case. He moved from node to other projects. Over the total lifetime of node, Ryan was _not_ involved for far longer than he _was_ involved (even when only counting the time before Deno was created).
The top-level comment seems to suggest that Ryan was an integral part of node development before deno and that "getting him back" was relevant. Which isn't what happened. There are people who worked on node and moved to deno. But Ryan isn't really one of them.
