2002-03-07 Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@mvista.com>
2001-06-12 Ben Elliston <bje@redhat.com>
2001-04-06 Stephane Carrez <Stephane.Carrez@worldnet.fr>
2000-11-06 Nick Clifton <nickc@redhat.com>
2000-07-05 Kenneth Block <krblock@computer.org>
2000-05-26 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@is.elta.co.il>
1999-06-14 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de>
1999-04-04 Michael Hohmuth <hohmuth@innocent.com>
1998-12-06 Ian Lance Taylor <ian@cygnus.com>
etc, etc.
What makes Eric Raymond's four hunk patch worthy of prominent display
next to the author's name?
Cheers, Ben
