Hi,

I think this is a nice idea. I'll have to return to this as right now I
can't prioritize everything truly global and exciting that happened...
maybe something with Mozilla products and overall wayland becoming more
popular.

But one important thing I did notice is that during 2020 ::gentoo
repository received more commits than ever before during git-era. And by
a huge margin. I'd mention something related to that, looks like
dev/user activity was at its peak last year.

Any project leaders/members could come up with something. Well I'll
return with markdowns added.
