    Commit 77a294d

    Update maintainer and author info. The other maintainer suddenly disappeared.

    Lmao, that’s putting it lightly.

      the other maintainer now has a special place:

      Special author: Jia Tan was a co-maintainer in 2022-2024. He and the team behind him inserted a backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) into XZ Utils 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 releases. He suddenly disappeared when this was discovered.
