**kernel.org**, the official distribution point for the Linux kernel, is the
latest (as of 2011-10) high-visibility installation. According to [this
email][ko-ann] to the lkml, kernel.org decided to use gitolite for access
controlling their git repos.
This move also prompted the first ever security audit of gitolite by an
outside party. Gitolite did great; see [here][audit] for details.
In addition, kernel.org was responsible for a serious rethink of a few rough
edges in gitolite, and smoothing them out was fun (the "playing with gitolite"
stuff, making the test suite simpler, "deny" rules for the entire repo).

A general note: if you see the list of high-profile users above, you will see
that gitolite benefits as much as they do; possibly more.
color me happy...
