Brian,

I actually disagree.   I think a person himself is least best able to
judge his notability -- since notability, by definition, involves the
opinion and reputation of a person held by others.

A published author and creator of a very widely used piece of software
is certainly notable enough for a wikipedia entry.  I encourage those
with the time to write something!

I think that our opinion matters less than John's.  Before considering
writing an article about him, you might want to ask him whether he wants
an article to be written about himself.  After all, who else knows his
history (and how "notable" it is) better then he does?
