They were mad because they were NOT on the list; and they were mad because someone else WAS and they did not think they should be. Adam Williams name is all over the place and that is what is the most important. - FFmpeg is such a HUGE part of CinGG now that how could we ever list those Authors? and honestly that is the main reason CinGG is functioning so well. - And what about the Authors of the LV2 Calf plugins? and all of the libraries being used?

Although it would be nice to have, it is just too hard to get correct, difficult to maintain, and *leads to people getting mad*.
Were they mad because their name was on list or because it was absent? Today development slowed much, so may be we have time to sort this out without panicking .....
This is what has happened in the past and why it was eliminated. But
maybe in the future if another full time developer starts working on all of the Bug Tracker issues, this can be changed.

Because cinelerra-gg is merge of cin hv, cin-cv, various recent contributors on this list and Bill's own work I thought having AUTHORS file in sorce tree root will be good idea.
Right now Cin-CV AUTHORS look like this (some emails outdated)

All in all 30 authors
Cin-CV did a lot of bugfixing, build system , internationalization work, some plugin work. Also IIRC ffmpeg support appeared in some branch of cv "fork" while may be Adam and Bill come up with similar file on their own?
cinelerra/cinelerra-5.1/cinelerra/ffmpeg.C
contain no attribution ... guess we should track this down in history and fix
CinHV aboutperfs.C contain this list (Myself only send literally few oneliners, but I guess my work on cingg merges into it)

25 authors. (with overlap)
Tefan de Konik looks like typo? Stefan, may be? https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/pipermail/cin/2022-January/004602.html
I think for cingg specifically we should add Bill, Sergey at very least and Andrea, Phyllis, Terje, IgorB, and other *testers* because without your work we newer had chance to move anywhere near our current state.
(i guess we should say list is incomplete in first edition, because fishing out all contributor's names out of mail list archive will take time)
I think we can go with second form of list, without emails? Usually email is useful if someone want to ask few questions, but because someone contribute to various cinelerra branches does not mean they are still on it ...
So I guess leaving remark about incompleteness and links to current email archive is best we can do?
