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). + +-Phil Pennock, pp The Exim Maintainers. + +============================8< cut here >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 +those I can recover from the past; then I'll create a new list to which I'll +add new contributors in future. Some regular contributors may appear in both. + +I'm going to record people who send in actual patches or who help in detailed +ways. I'm not going to list people who just make a suggestion or report a +bug. I hope that is a reasonable approach. + +If you should be on one of these lists and are not, please accept my apologies, +and let me know! Any omissions are solely due to my incompetence. In +particular, the "past" list has certainly lost the names of people who sent in +relatively small patches. + +Philip Hazel + +Lists created: 20 November 2002 +Last updated (by PH): 22 August 2007 + +THE OLD LIST + +Alan Barratt First code for relay checking +Malcolm Beattie Interface to embedded Perl +Philip Blundell First support for IPv6 +Piete Brooks Running the first live version + Implementing multiple-system compilation +Matthew Byng-Maddick First code for dsearch lookup +Steve Campbell Extensions to eximstats + Steve is now the maintainer of eximstats +Brian Candler LDAP support enhancement +Petr Cech PostgreSQL interface +Steve Clarke Best way to find the load average in Linux +Energis Ltd Resources for the exim.org site +Yann Golanski Numerical hash function +Jason Gunthorpe IPv6 support (Linux) +Michael Haardt LDAP support enhancement +Steve Haslam First code for TLS +Kjetil Torgrim Homme Suggested patch for macro extensions +John Horne Proof-reading documentation (repeatedly) +Pierre Humblet Cygwin support +Paul Kelly MySQL interface + First code for Oracle interface +Ian Kirk Radius support +Stuart Levy Replacement for broken inet_ntoa() on IRIX +Stuart Lynne First code for LDAP +Nigel Metheringham Setting up the website and mailing list + Managing the website and mailing list + Interface to Berkeley DB + Support for cdb + Support for maildir +Barry Pederson LDAP support enhancement +Marc Prud'hommeaux SPA client authentication +Alexander Sabourenkov pwcheck daemon support +Peter Savitch LDAP support enhancement +Robert Wal whoson lookup +Joachim Wieland Researching strace and stolen subprocesses in Linux + + +THE NEW LIST + +Alexander Alekseev Use of function attribute checks in gcc +Justo Alonso Suggested patch for maildir++ maildirsize file support +Anton Altaparmakov Patches to get cyrus_sasl fully working +Simon Arlott Patch for $dnslist_matched. +Claus Assmann Example code for OpenSSL CRL support +Warren Baker Experimental Redis lookup. +Robert Bannocks Patch for LDAP reference problem on Solaris +Ian Bell Analysis of a bug and an infelicity in clock tick code + Patch for ${quote_local_part +Peter Benie A number mistakes found by analysing the code +Johannes Berg Suggested patch for authentication client $auth<n> support + Suggested patch for acl_not_smtp_start +Matt Bernstein LMTP over socket + Suggested patch for dnslists '&' feature +Mike Bethune Help with debugging an elusive ALRM signal bug +Ard Biesheuvel Lookup code for accessing an Interbase database +Richard Birkett Fix for empty -f address crash +Dean Brooks Fix for ratelimit per_rcpt in acl_not_smtp. +Nick Burrett Patch for CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_EUID in exicyclog +Matthew Byng-Maddick Patch for qualify_domain in redirect router + Patch for ignore_target_hosts in ipliteral router + The cyrus_sasl authenticator +Steve Campbell eximstats extensions and continued maintenance +Brian Candler Use h_errno for gethostbyname() + Suggested patch for .ifdef etc + Several minor fixes and suggestions +Pete Carah Patch for change to radiusclient API +Oliver Cook Suggested patch for exigrep & rejected messages + Patch to add sender/host info to local_scan() rejects + Suggested patch to add queue time to "Completed" +Ted Cooper Suggested patch for NOTQUIT ACL +Jennifer Corley Designing the new Exim logo +John Dalbec Patch for quota_warn_threshold bug +Vivek Dasmohapatra Suggested patch for CRL support +Dennis Davis Suggested server_condition for all authenticators +Andrew Doran Patch for NetBSD configuration files + Patch for ifreq alignment and size problems +Michael Deutschmann Suggested patch for treating bind() failure like connect() + Patch for $sender_data and $recipient_data + Suggested patch for null address match lookup bug + Suggested patch for verify = not_blind + Patch for alternate TXT lookup in DNS lists +Oliver Eikemeier Patch to skip Received: if expansion is empty + Patch for "eqi" +Nico Erfurth Fix for bug in ${readfile} + Patch for router_home_directory + Patch for ACL crash (try to test sender after ETRN) + Suggested patch for lookup search bug + Suggested patch for advertise_condition + Patch for missing HELO in checkaccess + Patch for raw headers + Patch for lsearch lookups tidying + Patch for .include_if_exists + Patch for partial- not recognized in host list + Lots more patches for bug fixes, enhancements, and + code refactorings - too many to record details! +Jochen Erwied Fix for BDB 4.1 API +Stefan Esser Fix for DNS RR parsing bug +Peter Evans Suggested using modification time of "new" for time + of "mailbox last read" for maildir +Andrew Findlay Patch to close writing end of ${readsocket +Michael Fischer + v.

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. ] + + +Maintainers +----------- +Steve Campbell eximstats maintainer. +Mike Cardwell Exim webmaster. +Tony Finch Unbreaks lots of things.
