I was really excited to see Mattt Thompson (AFNetworking & NSHipster) have quite a few commits in the repository. I followed him religiously when he would write for NSHipster and then he just kind of disappeared for a while (or I have no clue where to look). Regardless, great to see Apple looked to him for advice on this project seeing he has produced some of the most popular open source software for iOS and OS X that I know of. https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/commits/maste...

I still remember max howel tweet[1] in which he publicly said that we was rejected by Google. Looking at his linkedin profile[2] , he was later hired by Apple in August 2015. Now he is biggest[3] contributed to Swift package manager. It is good to see that the person who has lot of experience in handing Apple and package system is handing this stuff. I guess, things happens for good. [1] https://twitter.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768 [2] https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxhowell [3] https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/graphs/contri...
