-# Roozbeh Pournader actually didn't contributed much code to GNU FriBidi; but
-# he has promoted and psychologically supported the project.  He has helped
-# with making GNU FriBidi standards compliant, and has lobbied with the
-# Unicode standard when needed.  He was supposed to become a co-maintainer of
-# GNU FriBidi, so applied and got the @gnu.org account, but apparently he's
-# not doing that.  He's credited for being a GNU FriBidi author wrongly in
-# some communities still.  That's why his name appears in this file, but
-# commented out.
