Great. I failed at my commitment to quickly apply the updated series. I
want to do it now, but I'm failing to be able to fetch the code:

	$ git fetch amdragon
	error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 417
	fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

(This is using the URL above.)

This, (and the other comments you made about the cleanup), all sound
great to me. So I'm looking forward to seeing the code.

My intention is simply to leave this up to the author of the code in
question. If you feel your name belongs on the author list, then please
put it there.

Similarly, if you think your code is sufficient to deserve copyright
protection, (so probably anything beyond simple typo fixes or otherwise
tiny changes), then *please* add your name (or your employer's name as
appropriate) to that list as well.

A quick check with grep shows that I've definitely not been asking for
this attribution as much as I should have. Hopefully we can all get in a
better habit going forward.

-Carl
