Little question about development

Dear GIMP developers,

I am Marco D'Ambros, a PhD student in the university of Lugano Switzerland. I am working in analyzing the evolution of software system and a couple of years ago I was looking at the development of GIMP.
I saw that a large number of commits in the GIMP cvs repository were performed by an account called "mitch". I was wondering if that account was used by one developer only, who contributed with a lot of code, or maybe it was an account used by several developers which works as a kind of "proxy".

I know this refers to not that recent times, but perhaps somebody knows about it.

Thank you very much for your attention and congratulation for the development of a really awesome software. Cheers
Marco

Dear GIMP developers,

BTW, Marco -
GIMP's ChangeLog files are usally accurate to the last white-space. And the person who overssess that even whitespaces are correct is exactly Mitch.
