It looks like Git has a healthy truck factor of 8, as reported in https://mtov.github.io/Truck-Factor/, which has Git eighth in the list of projects it analyzed, with Linux at second place.

The analysis method paper is behind a pay wall, so I couldn't see how sensible the methodology, but it's nice to know Git's a broad team.

Keep safe everyone. -- Philip
