The "natural person" part was lost in this change. It also doesn't reappear in the added section below. I think we don't want any corporate entities there (or at least that's what I had taken from the previous "Sony" discussion). > +Contributor Name > +---------------- I just notice that it says "contributor" here while it is "committer" above.

The authors thanking themselves would be very unusual in an acknowledgement. :) I suggest to just add John Helmert III to the existing list (keeping alphabetical order). All others are either authors or are already mentioned. Ulrich
