+@appendix Contributors to the GNU C Library
+
+The GNU C library was written originally by Roland McGrath, and is
+currently maintained by Ulrich Drepper.  Some parts of the library were
+contributed or worked on by other people.
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+The @code{getopt} function and related code were written by
+Richard Stallman, @w{David J.} MacKenzie, and @w{Roland McGrath}.
+
+@item
+The merge sort function @code{qsort} was written by Michael J. Haertel.
+
+@item
+The quick sort function used as a fallback by @code{qsort} was written
+by Douglas C. Schmidt.
+
+@item
+The memory allocation functions @code{malloc}, @code{realloc} and
+@code{free} and related code were written by Michael J. Haertel,
+@w{Wolfram Gloger}, and @w{Doug Lea}.
+
+@item
+Fast implementations of many of the string functions (@code{memcpy},
+@code{strlen}, etc.) were written by Torbj@"orn Granlund.
+
+@item
+The @file{tar.h} header file was written by David J. MacKenzie.
+
+@item
+The port to the MIPS DECStation running Ultrix 4
+(@code{mips-dec-ultrix4})
+was contributed by Brendan Kehoe and Ian Lance Taylor.
+
+@item
+The DES encryption function @code{crypt} and related functions were
+contributed by Michael Glad.
+
+@item
+The @code{ftw} and @code{nftw} functions were contributed by Ulrich Drepper.
