Chris is a team of people? I thought he was just one developer

  If you re-read the sentence with s/Chris/The Author/ I expect you'll find the pronoun cromulent. "They" was exclusively plural in Middle English in the 1300s, but, we're not speaking Middle English.

  What makes you think they're a team?

    What else would you call them? A collective?

  It is common to use "they" for singular unknown people, e.g. "Someone left their coat here." I'm not OP, but since I don't know anyone on the Internet, I have the habit of using "they" for everybody, for example: "WildRookie? No, I don't know their real name, only that username." It could be that OP has such a habit, which just carried over for referring to Chris, even though someone named "Chris Done" is probably a man (although, there are women who go by Chris).
