Which major open source projects still skip Git?

A question circulating among developers asks which major open source projects do not use Git as their primary source code management system. Named examples include OpenBSD, which uses CVS, and SQLite, which uses its own Fossil system, with Mercurial presumably using its own namesake tool. The consensus is that despite these exceptions, Git remains the overwhelming default across open source development.

Why now: Developers find it notable how completely Git has dominated version control, with only a handful of large projects keeping alternatives.
