Linus admits his personal interest waned after his needs were met, quickly handing maintenance over to Junio Hamano. Today, Git's ubiquity presents new challenges, such as a surge in abandoned projects. Linus' focus remains on the ongoing development of the Linux kernel, with no immediate plans for new projects.
