As far as i see it, *anyone* who has made *any* tangible contribution to the GIMP can have their name in the AUTHORS file. Since the "About GIMP" scrolling list is just a mirror of AUTHORS (as is the authors section in gimp.1), everyone should also appear here.
Since we're trying to get these lists as up to date as possible, can anyone who has contributed and has been missed out add themselves to these lists (if they want to appear in them!).
Thanks for the reply. Unless anyone has already done so, I can go through the ChangeLog files and check for names of people who have provided patches but are not yet in the AUTHORS file and provide a patch to update AUTHORS and the list used in the "About GIMP" source file.
Cheers!
