Whole refcount conversion was a long piece of work and the above people contributed to this code either as writes or reviewers or both. I am primary writer of the code and I am handing patches in our tree and sending them out, so how exactly the above should look like? Please note that we have about 300 patches and if I have to modify each sign-off to reflect who contributed to each commit in what particular way, I will go insane. Best Regards, Elena.
