Many people have contributed code included in the Free Software Foundation’s distribution of GNU Emacs. To show our appreciation for their public spirit, we list here in alphabetical order those who have written substantial portions. Others too numerous to mention have reported and fixed bugs, and added features to many parts of Emacs. We thank them for their generosity as well.
This list is intended to mention every contributor of a major package or
