AUTHOR         top

       kmod project was started by Lucas De Marchi as a drop-in
       replacement to module-init-tools that was maintained by Jon
       Masters, adding a library (libkmod) and additional features.

       Numerous contributions have come from the linux-modules mailing
       list <[email protected]> and Github. If you have a
       clone of kmod.git itself, the output of git-shortlog(1) and
       git-blame(1) can show you the authors for specific parts of the
       project.

       Lucas De Marchi <[email protected]> is the current
       maintainer of the project.
