Well, everyone who's contributed to the library is an author in a
sense. Whoever's written the most lines of non-whitespace,
non-documentation code is the primary author. Why rely on
manually-curated data when you have a canonical source?
Anyway, I'm just not a fan of strong code ownership as I see that
sometimes it creates a "don't touch" mindset. But maybe that's just me.

That's true. I'll let someone who uses it write the patch though. =)
