From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah. So gimp is going to stop being 15 years out of date and instead going to be just 10 years out of date. Cool.
Send in a pull request.
this is a gnome project, that's not how it tends to work

"Please make Gimp relevant" would be a pretty interesting pull request.
A pull request, in its most basic form, is the request for a change. The joke is that the change I'd be requesting is to make Gimp more relevant, as there isn't just one feature or quality of life change that Gimp would need.
The loudest and most negative voices are always consumers, not contributors. They just saw the word “request”.
