In Red eyes flashing on the GIMP logo?> Gotta be real, Gimp's not that far off from just one guy (https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/graphs/contributors)
GitHub only shows people with an email address linked to a GitHub account in that chart; the last time I checked it was 4 or 5 people working on it regularly, which is still a very small team (none are working on it full-time) so your point still stands (it's a point I've made myself a few times before when people compare GIMP to Photoshop or the like).
The GitLab chart[1] also doesn't seem to be accurate; e.g. Mitch only has 986 commits on that one (and almost 14k on the GitHub chart).

In Gimp 3 Beta ReleasedGotta be real, Gimp's not that far off from just one guy (https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/graphs/contributors)
We all assume there's a vast army of dedicated people behind these things. Most people do just a tiny bit and don't stick around.
The reality is the core ranks are thin and the troops are exhausted. If you've got the time, they could use a hand (this is for all open source projects)
They people behind them are also usually effectively invisible when compared to the effort they put in so if you're thin on time, hunting down an email to send a sincere personal thank you would really make their day.
In Gimp 3 Beta ReleasedSome additional ideas:
- Kanban - Kanboard ( https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard )
- Analytics - Matomo ( https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo )
- Content Management System - Grav ( https://github.com/getgrav/grav )
- Knowledge Base - BookStack ( https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack )
- Browser - Firefox ( https://github.com/mozilla )

- Observability Platform - Zabbix ( https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix )

In Open-source alternatives to popular B2B toolsGlad it works on someone else's computer (i'm the branch author).
Actually https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/tree/gtk3-port may be more up to date as I'm just manually backporting to the meson port.
In GIMP 2.10.0 Release Candidate 1 ReleasedThere is a gtk3 dev branch: https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/tree/gtk3-port-meson — and it actually does work :)
In GIMP 2.10.0 Release Candidate 1 ReleasedGIMP initially started as an university project, that, by now, has been developed for almost 20 years. Just in the past seven days there've been 9305 LOC additions and 3535 deletions, according to the github mirror [0].
It's one of the most important projects for the open source desktop, for example GTK (formerly GIMP Toolkit) is one very important outcome.
Please support GIMP, because it's more than 'just' a Photoshop alternative.
