FWIW, GitGutter optionally shows blame info inline and in statusbar.

Yes, i just created such a package, because i do not use most of it's features. I want this to be a standalone package for inline blames.
Also this runs a bit smoother, as the blame is loaded for the full file, when it's opened. The phantom is served by a cache.

There are still things to work on, but I thought it's in a shape already that could be published.

That looks fantastic!

Let's see what the reviewer bot says.

LGTM! @braver

(braver is not the bot.)

• "base_file": "${packages}/InlineGitBlame/Default (InlineGitBlame).sublime-keymap",

That's not a standard name, and then you must set ... the key ... "user_file"? The reviewer will know that.

Also add them to "commands", the ctrl+shift+p thing, Command Palette. Preferences: ...

• Because you prepared for that, add at BOF in your root.py

import sys

# kiss-reloader:
prefix = __spec__.parent + "."  # don't clear the base package
for module_name in [
    module_name
    for module_name in sys.modules
    if module_name.startswith(prefix) and module_name != __name__
]:
    del sys.modules[module_name]

so that the package hot-reloads if you ship updates.

• There is bug 😭 . In md files, e.g. a README, I cannot reliably use arrow-down. It just jumps at EOL.

• Consider adding keybindings and settings entries to the command palette (example).
• Not sure what the bot it complaining about with the main menu entries, but have a look (also check @kaste's comments).
• Your entry in this PR has mixed indentation.
• While messages about updates are good, people do tend to find them annoying if there are a lot of them. So I would advise to limit it to changes in UI or settings that users need to know about.

Not sure what the bot it complaining about with the main menu entries

I update the reviewer. The culprit is that "Inline Git Blame" is used but the package name is "InlineGitBlame".
