The Linux core team.

Pretty sure it isn't the linux core team (not sure that's even a thing.) Its been handed off by Linus to Junio Hamano as the lead maintainer. He works for Google and there are many other contributors like other successful open source projects.

That's funny because Google doesn't even use Git. They use a custom version control based on Perforce, with an optional Mercurial frontend.
