History of Lintian development
Development started 1998 by Christian Schwarz and Richard
Braakman
General design unchanged since then
A lot of people have contributed since then and the maintainership
changed several times
1999 to Darren Benham
2000 to Sean 'Shaleh' Perry
2002 to Josip Rodin
2004 to Debian Lintian Maintainers (Jeroen van Wolffelaar, Frank
Lichtenheld, Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt)
(People that have contributed significantly without ever assuming
maintainership include Joey Hess, Colin Watson, and Denis
Barbier).
Currently maintained in a private subversion repository on
Jeroen's server, but we plan to move that to Alioth.
