This information would be greatly appreciated.\n\nI'm not sure what kind of \"supply chain or shipping\" you are\nenvisioning would even be applicable to git.  I'm also not even sure\nwhy slowdowns would matter -- you get new features slower?\n\nIt's also not at all clear whether we have an overall slowdown; not to\nme at least.  Some developers who contribute may have less time to do\nso (e.g. due to the sudden need to homeschool kids), but others might\nhave more time.  While some git developers may have worked in the same\ncompany and collaborated in person, overall, git development has\nalways been done electronically and remotely and has contributors from\nmany companies as well as hobbyists.  If someone had a reason to be\ninterested in this kind of answer beyond \"My gut answer right now is I\ndon't think so\", they could try counting patch submissions to the\nmailing list or the number of new commits entering various branches\nand compare it to previous release cycles.  That information is\npublically available for all to see, after all.  But digging out this\ninformation seems like work for someone who feels that documenting the\nanswer provides some kind of utility.  If you just want a rough gut\nestimate, I don't perceive any slowdowns.\n"}]}
