+* Jeremy Latt (2012-2014)
+* Edmund Huber (2014-2015)
+* Daniel Oaks (2016-present)
+* Shivaram Lingamneni (2017-present)
 
-And a massive thanks to Shivaram Lingamneni (slingamn) for being an amazing co-maintainer of Oragono! You've contributed a lot to Oragono, and really convinced me to step up with this and take the server forward in a big way. I'm grateful for everything you've done, and working with ya' is a pleasure.
+In addition, Oragono has benefited tremendously from its community of contributors, users, and translators, not to mention collaborations with the wider IRCv3 community. There are too many people to name here --- but we try to credit people for individual contributions in the changelog, please reach out to us if we forgot you :-)
