We especially recognize Dan Kohn (1972-2020), who was instrumental
in starting this project. He is deeply missed.

Those marked with a "*" have all the necessary rights to
create and close issues, accept proposed changes,
and release versions of software, as well administrate the production system.
This meets the "access_continuity" criterion.

See the TSC.md document for the current Technical Steering Committee
(TSC) members.

We currently don't have any security vulnerabilities that have been
found externally by others. If someone *has* done so, and would like to
be credited, we will gladly do so! If we've accidentally forgotten to give
you credit, our apologies; please let us know so we can quickly fix that.
We *want* people to report any vulnerabilities our system has, so that
we can quickly fix them. Please see our information on
[how_to_report_vulnerabilities](CONTRIBUTING.md#how_to_report_vulnerabilities).

Karl Fogel not only provided us helpful inputs, but his book
"Producing Open Secure Software" <http://producingoss.com/>
was an important basis for identifying many project best practices.
Thank you!
