-Developer Log
-=============
-
-This file is a running log of developers given permissions on SourceForge.
-
-The purpose is to provide some institutional memory of who was given access
-and why.
-
-The first entry starts in April 2005.  In keeping with the style of
-Misc/NEWS, newer entries should be added to the top.  Any markup should
-be in the form of ReST.  Entries should include the initials of the
-project admin who made the change or granted access.  Feel free to revise
-the format to accommodate documentation needs as they arise.
-
-Note, when giving new commit permissions, be sure to get a contributor
-agreement from the committer.  See http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/
-for details.  When the agreement is signed, please note it in this log.
-
-This file is encoded in UTF-8.  If the usual form for a name is not in
-a Latin or extended Latin alphabet, make sure to include an ASCII
-transliteration too.
