+This is woefully incomplete as it's automatically generated from version
+control history.  In particular, it doesn't include the names of the
+(very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues in previous
+versions of Perl that helped make Perl 5.12.0 better. For a more complete
+list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see the C<AUTHORS>
+file in the Perl 5.12.0 distribution.
 
 Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN
 modules included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN
