+Ideally, all contributors of non-trivial code are named here to the extend that
+a name and e-mail address is available.  Please write a mail to hut@hut.pm if
+your name is missing, or in case of any other issues.
+
+The authorship and modification date of the individual lines of code can be
+determined through querying the version control management software:
+
+    git blame <filename>
+
+Explicitly named authors in a source file are there to help you find a
+competent person in case of questions, not necessarily because they are
+the exclusive authors of a source file.
