Here's a nomination for Milan Crha who does lots of hacking on Evolution.

https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/log/

It's not the most public, "sexy" project in our arsenal, and while
many people find it more glorious to work on newer things like Maps,
Builder, Flatpak and more (I'm a fan of these projects, the
contributors and their work) it's still excellent to have people
contributing to one of the workhorses that helps many of us get a lot
of our work done.

Here's to Milan, and the other Evolution contributors. May they
continue their great work, and may other join them in the quest to a
better alternative to gmail.

Thanks,
James
