This is untrue. Tons of development is done by others.

I mean:

    https://github.com/vim/vim/graphs/contributors
    https://github.com/neovim/neovim/graphs/contributors

technically yes (by others too), but relatively, it's basically a one-man project

Vim has had a long life before being moved to GitHub and it still isn't developed the GitHub way anyway, so those graphs are meaningless.

Here are contributor lists I've gathered a few years ago from `:help versionX.txt`: https://gist.github.com/romainl/7b17317cc26a30116e51a3759022...

That's 600+ non-Bram contributors up to the fork that the Neovim team made disappear from their project when they removed the relevant files.

You mean 'the git way', all GitHub's doing is looking at commit authors (different from commit committers).

A checked in file with a list of names is not the way to record that, I don't blame Neovim for removing it since that's basically useless anyway.
