+Our "retired" pumpkings Nicholas Clark and Rafael Garcia-Suarez
+deserve special thanks for their brilliant and substantive ongoing
+contributions. Nicholas personally authored over 30% of the patches
+since 5.10.0. Rafael comes in second in patch authorship with 11%,
+but is first by a long shot in committing patches authored by others,
+pushing 44% of the commits since 5.10.0 in this category, often after
+providing considerable coaching to the patch authors. These statistics
+in no way comprise all of their contributions, but express in shorthand
+that we couldn't have done it without them.

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.
