Raymond didn't write gpsd, did he? He took it over as the "maintainer". But as 'geofft observed awhile ago, if you actually git-log the project, you'll see that most of the substantive changes to gpsd aren't Raymond's.
Is it possible that what Raymond really has is a (waning) talent for getting his name attached to other people's work?
