Hi Everyone

Tags are pushed, sources uploaded, binaries are ready (except Tumbleweed
which for some reason didn't build... I haven't looked into this, yet).

I'll do an announcement post on our website, update the links, find
creative ways to break the translations of the website, all the good
stuff.

Thanks for the hard work. This has been an amazing year of progress with
Subsurface. The changes to our infrastructure and to the community have
been... significant. And have really changed the pace of development.

My biggest gratitude goes to the team of people who have become
co-maintainers on GitHub. Lubomir, Jan, Miika, Robert, Anton - thank you
so much.

Here are the stats for 4.7.6 (which are dominated by some recent cleanup
work to deal with issues that Coverity flagged):

$ git shortlog -s -n v4.7.5..v4.7.6
    55  Jan Mulder
    51  Dirk Hohndel
    37  Berthold Stoeger
    11  Stefan Fuchs
     5  Miika Turkia
     5  Robert Helling
     3  Salvador Cuñat
     1  Joakim Bygdell
     1  Rick Walsh

What I love about these numbers is that for the first time since I took
over as maintainer someone else is holding the top spot. Yay Jan!

And since this release coincides with (almost) the end of 2017, here's
another interesting stat:

$ git shortlog -s -n --since 2017-01-01 
   786  Dirk Hohndel
   245  Jan Mulder
   217  Lubomir I. Ivanov
   161  Stefan Fuchs
   121  Miika Turkia
   111  Robert Helling
    98  Berthold Stoeger
    74  Joakim Bygdell
    61  Anton Lundin
    57  Tomaz Canabrava
    55  Salvador Cuñat
    49  Linus Torvalds
    45  Martin Měřinský
    24  Rick Walsh
    18  Jeremie Guichard
    17  Willem Ferguson
    12  Guillaume GARDET
     6  Alex Blasche
     6  John Van Ostrand
     6  Marco Martin
     6  Murillo Bernardes
     6  Seppo Takalo
     6  Simon Peter
     4  Sergey Starosek
     3  Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn
     3  Marc Arndt
     3  Philippe Massart
     2  Federico Masias
     2  Jef Driesen
     2  Shachar Snapiri
     2  Thiago Macieira
     1  Ben McCandless
     1  Darexon
     1  Olivier Verstraet
     1  Robert Bodily
     1  Seamus Boyle

Compare that with the year before:

$ git shortlog -s -n --since 2016-01-01 --until 2016-12-31
   638  Dirk Hohndel
   195  Tomaz Canabrava
    93  Miika Turkia
    54  Robert Helling
    53  Rick Walsh
    51  Linus Torvalds
    36  Anton Lundin
    26  Willem Ferguson
    23  Joakim Bygdell
    12  Sebastian Kügler
     9  Jan Mulder
     9  Marco Martin
     8  Henrik Brautaset Aronsen
     8  Salvador Cuñat
     6  Guillaume GARDET
     5  Lubomir I. Ivanov
     5  Tim Wootton
     3  Jeroen Massar
     2  krisalpha
     1  Brian Weber
     1  Martin Gysel
     1  Thiago Macieira
     1  Werner Macho

Or, to make my point more strongly:

$ git shortlog -s -n --since 2016-01-01 --until 2016-12-31 | grep -v Hohndel | cut -f 1 | paste -sd+ | bc
602
$ git shortlog -s -n --since 2017-01-01 --until 2017-12-31 | grep -v Hohndel | cut -f 1 | paste -sd+ | bc
1427

The number of contributions by the community went up by 133%!
Jan went from 9 in 2016 to 245 in 2017
Lubomir went from 5(???) in 2016 to 217 in 2017
Stefan and Berthold didn't even contribute in 2016.

Wow. Just wow.

Again. Thank you, everyone.
