EXIM ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
+This file is divided into two parts. The first is the original list maintained
+by Exim's author, Philip Hazel, before he retired. That has two sub-lists of
+contributors. The second main part is an attempt to bring this up-to-date,
+using information from ChangeLog and git.
+
+Names may well occur more than once.
+
+There was a five year gap. It is unlikely that this file is complete.
+If you contributed and are not listed, then *please* let us know. Even if you
+don't much care, we want to acknowledge your help. A contribution isn't just
+code, it includes reporting real bugs, helping with tracking problems down,
+documentation fixes and more.
+
+(Note that we have patches from folks in various countries and Latin1 is not
+ sufficient to handle all of their names acceptably.
+ This file should be in UTF-8).

I have not been very good at keeping a proper record of all the people who have
sent in patches and other contributions to Exim. I am going to try to do better
in the future by keeping a record in this file. First, I'll put a list of all

+The Exim Maintainers Lists
+==========================
+
+We'll start with the Exim Maintainers, who are the people with commit
+access to the master git repository and a couple more folk; then we'll list
+known contributors since the lists above. Then we list the folks who work
+to make Exim available on various operating systems as porters/packagers.
+
+For the Maintainers, we may list primary focus area. All maintainers
+will have contributed to work outside those areas. The maintainers'
+contributions are initialled in ChangeLog. Changes from before maintainership
+should be listed as a contributor.
+
+For other contributors, we will attempt to track all contributions. Note that
+the entries per-person were added initially by scanning back through the
+ChangeLog and git, so are not in chronological order.
+
+[ With names from all over the world, we need one sort order. I've arbitrarily
+ decreed it to be "normal British address-book sort order, but based on family
+ name rather than whichever comes last and using whatever seems sanest for
+ sort order of characters which do not collate onto an English character",
+ which should handle the majority of cases. If it is not adequate for some
+ situation, we'll resolve it then.
+ We leave out titles and honourifics, just names and handles. ]
+
+
