Improvements to the AUTHORS file

[Philip Van Hoof <spam pvanhoof be>]

I made a few improvements to the AUTHORS file.

Please DO tell me if you disagree with your record and/or want to make
improvements. I AM interested in your own opinion about this record of
yours and you DON'T have to be modest about telling me about your
contributions if you think your name belongs in that file.

Right now, unlike how it used to be, I did order the people who did most
contributions to the top of the file. Please DO NOT consider this to be
some sort of race to the top. Although I do think it's just being fair
when I say that for example Sergio has done quite a lot for Tinymail.


This is based on my own experience and I am the benevolent dictator
about this. If you disagree, then you disagree (and that's that).

However

If you are planning to start rioting in front of my house about the
AUTHORS file, please contact the Belgian authorities first as I think
this is a requirement for protests in Belgium: you'll need approval to
organise a public protest in our streets. Usually you'll get the
approval, though. There's some sort of "free speech" law in Belgium that
most of the times applies for protesters too. If you are planning to
invite thousands of people, I think you will need to make a planning
with the Belgian police to make sure the event happens peacefully and
without too much incidents. I can look this up for you, if necessary.

Given enough public pressure, I might reconsider your positioning in the
AUTHORS file.

Again .. however

Let's first try normal, sane, healthy, human discussion about it. You
can do this either publicly or privately with me. I'm sure I will have
an ear for your opinions. Please try that route first.

Most of the times, I'm not a bad person. I think. Like all males I
sometimes have my periods, of course.
