As of last month Wladimir J. van der Laan has been core maintainer for over 5 years. Thanks laanwj! :)

As like many of the Bitcoin dev's this guy has definitely secured his place in crypto legacy.

Not only is he officially the longest serving core lead maintainer, he does so with dignity and an amazing work ethic.

He keeps his head down, avoids much of the politics and just works away on the code.

If you drop in to the github at any point your almost guaranteed to see him coding away.

He's not one for the limelight but think it always nice to acknowledge his and the other devs efforts.

As without them we may not have much to discuss. :)
