Bram Moolenaar was the original author, maintainer, release manager, and benevolent dictator for life of Vim. @dang can HN put a black banner for Bram Moolenaar please?

Definitely deserves a black bar.

VIM is definitely is one of those thin tiles that keep Open Source together

Sending heartfelt condolences to Bram's family. His last commit is just one month ago: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/4c0089d696b8d1d5dc40568f25... . I wonder who else has access to vim.org and the official git repository and if there will be anyone step up to become vim's BDFL.

Judging by that the announcement email came from his own email, I'm guessing there has been some sort of redundancy setup done when the medical condition was initially detected.

It seems unthinkable that Dang will not bestow this honor upon him. Given that it's currently early Saturday morning, we just have to wait.
