+Autoconf was originally written by David MacKenzie, with help from
+Franc,ois Pinard, Karl Berry, Richard Pixley, Ian Lance Taylor, Roland
+McGrath, Noah Friedman, david d zuhn, and many others.
+
+Ben Elliston next took over the maintenance, facing a huge Autoconf
+backlog that had been piling up since the departure of David.
+
+Today, there are no fewer than five maintainers: Akim Demaille, Paul
+Eggert, Jim Meyering, Alexandre Oliva, and Tom Tromey, especially
+helped by Lars J. Aas, Mo DeJong, Steven G. Johnson, Matthew
+D. Langston, Pavel Roskin, and many others listed in the THANKS file.
