Thankfully, we have had so many contributions that maintaining the AUTHORS file would be a big task in itself. On the other hand, we now use git and I make sure that each author receives proper credit for patches I receive. So rather than trying to reproduce the git author log here (and often making mistakes in that), I invite you to check the git logs. You can also do this online at http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=summary Rainer Gerhards lead rsyslog developer
