According to Webarchive, https://tukaani.org/contact.html changed very recently (between 11/02/2024 and 29/02/2024) to add Lasse Collin's PGP key fingerprint. That timing is weird, considering his git activity at that time is almost non existent. Although, i checked, this key existed back in 2012.


> considering his git activity at that time is almost non existent

Are you looking at the same repositories I am? He's made 88 commits to xz in that time period, two-thirds of the total.


It's not because you are good at maths that you are good at politics. And he's the best example about that we've had so far.


If politics works like it is said in "The Prince" (ie. Machiavelli), then I do not see any easily transferable skill set from renowned mathematician to politician.

Except for game theory maybe?


Yeah, agreed. And he proved he's a shitty politician. (with shitty ideas too, but that's my point of view)


Glad it works on someone else's computer (i'm the branch author). Actually https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/tree/gtk3-port may be more up to date as I'm just manually backporting to the meson port.
