README.md should have a list of contributors

[IreneKnapp]

There should be a list of contributors in the readme, and it should include Janne Hellsten and Joey Adams. It's not just common courtesy, though it's that too; it's necessary to track for copyright purposes. When projects don't carefully track code donations, anyone could retroactively assert a claim and force them to no longer be open-source, which I'm sure nobody would want.

Can I do @nurpax and @joeyadams to ping you on this? :)

I don't mind being added.. but for purely as evidence for copyright purposes, isn't it enough to check the git revision history?

[IreneKnapp]

That's possibly true, yes. It just feels better to not rely on important
information being there in the history, although I don't foresee it going
anywhere.

Yes, that worked, and yes, I'd be happy to be on the list.

It's been so long and I haven't done this; I'm not going to worry about it. The repo history has that information, as people have noted.
