+Williamson, Renee Baecker, Sawyer X, Steve Hay, Todd Rinaldo, Tony Cook, Yves

+from version control history.  In particular, it does not include the names of
+the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug
+tracker.
+
+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 community for
+helping Perl to flourish.
