The one with chpe Rocking!

On #gnome-hackers today:

behdad: guys
behdad: if you see chpe
behdad: make sure you hug him
behdad: he pushed more than 100 commits to gnome-terminal today
crevette: yeah
crevette: behdad: near 350
behdad: crevette: yeah, still deleting mail...
***behdad gave up on reading them
crevette: hello btw behdad
behdad: Status Whiteboard| |[decision][chpe:wontfix]
behdad: haha
crevette: :)
behdad: hey crevette
behdad: I have no idea what he's been doing
behdad: but this all looks SO GREAT
bkor: move to gtkbuilder, etc
behdad: and he totally gave up on updating ChangeLog btw
behdad: bkor: much more
behdad: complete code cleanup
bkor: behdad: yeah, didn't read it yet
behdad: removed the terminal widget abstraction
bkor: behdad: seems to have removed vte abstraction
behdad: yeah
bkor: hehe
behdad: which is good
behdad: but this is proof that we need git....
crevette: this is a proof that some people are aliens
crevette: :)
behdad: crevette: that too
bkor: behdad: DVCS
behdad: bkor: political correctness :P
bkor: behdad: I don't agree
behdad: I agree :)
jonner: behdad: what did chpe do?
crevette: jonner: he commited like a mad on gnome-terminal
behdad: crevette: about 500 to this moment
behdad: jonner: ----^
jonner: 500 commits?
behdad: jonner: yes
jonner: holy...
crevette: damn
behdad: we should do a special gnome release just for that
***crevette always considered chpe like the unknown hero of GNOME
crevette: he deserves tens of blog post to tell how he is good
behdad: crevette: he defies fame
crevette: :)
pochu: how can somebody do 500 commits in a single day?
behdad: someone put this in topic :)
behdad: pochu: pushed multiple git branches he had sitting around
jonner: probably git-svn (?)
Leftmost: Wow. gnome-terminal could certainly use some cleanup.
behdad: each having ~50 commits for a cleanup task
pochu: behdad: ah
pochu: cool anyway :)
pochu: sadly I don't use gnome-terminal :(
pochu: he could have done that in GTK+ or something else ;)
behdad has changed the topic to: chpe meter: http://tinyurl.com/5yvgc3

As such I'm giving away the titles of gnome-terminal maintainer and gnome-terminal developer. I certainly don't fit those anymore. It's all chpe's now!

The closest thing to this that ever happened to my modules was what Chris Wilson did to vte. Fortunately I was successful converting him to a cairo hacker and he has made 600 cairo commits since. Lets see where chpe shows up next!
