Have You Seen These Hackers?

Note: the relicensing is now complete; this information is of historical interest only.

The Mozilla relicensing effort is reaching its final stages. The response has been overwhelming, with over 99% of respondents (300-odd people), including all major contributors, backing the change from MPL to an MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license.

However, there are a few contributors who have gone missing and seemingly disappeared from the face of the earth; we have been unable to reach these people to ask their permission for the relicensing. Have you seen these hackers? We want to find them and reunite them with their code.

We are asking the community to help us find these missing contributors. If you find out any of these people's current contact information or whereabouts, please let us know. This page will be updated with the current status of the search. Feel free to use any tools (legally) at your disposal. Please don't mail them yourself, otherwise we might have twenty people all emailing the same person. Instead, let us know that you've tracked them down.

Your reward: General kudos, our thanks, a credit on this page, and a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

If your name appears in this first table, please, wherever you are, head for the nearest computer and get in touch! We love you, and want to hear from you again! Thanks!
