I suspect that many people outside CGit circle may not know who this Jason (who never appeared in git@vger.kernel.org) is, and are wondering in what capacity he is sending a S-o-b for somebody else's patch without explanation. An inroduction may help others (as can be seen on Cc: line, I added Lars there because I didn't even know he was still the man behind CGit).

Later last year, the project was taken over by an active contributor with the other active contributor (Ferry Huberts)'s support and then later with Lars's blessing:

  http://hjemli.net/pipermail/cgit/2013-January/000884.html

That active contributor is Jason. The repository has also been moved to Jason's http://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/ even though mailing list and its archive seem to be still suported by Lars's hjemli.net. And the latest CGit 0.9.1 was release mid November 2012 by him.

John Keeping has been actively working on making sure that CGit works with newer codebase for the past couple of days, until he found out that after our v1.7.12.4 some symbols were unavailable to him from us X-< which triggered this topic. Jason's S-o-b as the CGit maintainer is certainly appropriate for this patch.

So, thanks, Jason and John for your efforts.
