I think "we" is the first person.

Thanks for your suggestion and sorry for forgetting to take it into account.

I must say that I think it's Ok to use "we" instead of "the Git
community" in Git Rev News. I think we have often taken this
perspective before.

By the way, does someone knows why the announce of edition 99 doesn't
seem to have appeared yet on https://lore.kernel.org/git/ :

https://lore.kernel.org/git/?q=s%3A%22Git+Rev+News+edition+99%22

while it appeared on https://public-inbox.org/git/ :

https://public-inbox.org/git/CAP8UFD2MNFjEjrGVyj__d4f95nC=D7csKajYzdtMFkfXKmrixQ@mail.gmail.com/

Thanks!
