+AUTHORS of findutils
+
+I do not know the name of the original author of the findutils
+package, but the authors of all the major components are known. Eric
+B. Decker contributed GNU find and Michael Rendell contributed xargs.
+James A. Woods contributed locate.
+
+Here are the names of some authors culled from ChangeLog and
+miscellaneous other files. The main criterion for whether your name
+ends up in this file or in THANKS is that the people with entries here
+donated code or documentation which was significant enough to require
+a copyright assignment.
+
+The locate program and its helper programs are derived (heavily
+modified) from James Woods' public domain fast-find code, which is
+also distributed with the 4.3BSD find.

+The current maintainer of the findutils package is James Youngman.
+Questions about findutils should be addressed to the mailing list,
+<bug-findutils@gnu.org> which, contrary to the impression given by its
+name, is used for general discussion of the findutils package.
