It's poorly reflected in this discussion thread, though. >> who have been sitting on these patches for over a year now AFAICT. > > Even if that were true, that does not somehow revoke the original > author/contributor list. No, it does not. But it does make me much more sympathetic towards Daniel's efforts even though authorship info is misappropriated. It's not as if he changed copyrights or anything malicious like that so I do think people are making this into a bigger thing than it really is. Anyway, I hope Daniel has the time to rebase his patches on top of your original ones so history is preserved and we can get this stuff merged. Pekka
