This is an attempt to give credit to the people who contributed in some way to the mpg123 project.
There are names and email addresses listed. Please use these addresses only to contact contributors with some question about their mpg123 contribution.
You are explicitly not allowed to send them unwanted business offers or to question the quality of their sex life.
--------------------

Being on the list of contributing authors not necessarily means that there
is significant copyright in parts of the source code. There are obviously
contributions of differing complexity. I try to mention people who motivated
changes at least by suggesting some definite code changes, even if their
code did not enter the mpg123 source verbatim. Trivial changes like pointing
out ovbious syntax errors that make compilers cry do not land here.

Current maintainers with various sorts of contributions:
	Thomas Orgis <thomas@orgis.org>
	Patrick Dehne <patrick@steidle.net>
	Jonathan Yong <10walls@gmail.com>
	Taihei Momma <tmkk@mac.com>

Co-initiator of the revived mpg123 project, but not that involved anymore:
	Nicholas J Humfrey <njh@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

Special thanks go to Taihei, the person who keeps the assembly optimisations alive
and takes care of portability to OSX/iOS platforms.

Generic address pointing to the current maintainer (hopefully still works in future in case maintainership will change again): <maintainer@mpg123.org>
