I leave that to the others to discuss, we should have a consensus
about that anyway I think.

Hm, long-term commitment, does that mean I should be in that list? I
haven't contributed much code but did a lot of other work...

Apparently one of the French guys who worked on the applets. There
isn't any more information about him, sadly not everybody does put
their full name in the commits/patches. Ditto for Jof, no idea who
