Of course, the really interesting part is to ask why this project had such a resounding success (funded with 24K out of a 3K pledge -- that's a factor of eight!). I propose (non-exhaustive):
* Joey is well-known in his circles. No one had a doubt he'd follow through.
* He had already git-annex, i.e. something usable to show around
