AUTHOR top

   **kmod** project was started by Lucas De Marchi as a drop-in
   replacement to module-init-tools that was maintained by Jon
   Masters, adding a library (libkmod) and additional features.

   Numerous contributions have come from the linux-modules mailing
   list <linux-modules@vger.kernel.org> and Github. If you have a
   clone of kmod.git itself, the output of [git-shortlog(1)](../man1/git-shortlog.1.html) and
   [git-blame(1)](../man1/git-blame.1.html) can show you the authors for specific parts of the
   project.

   **Lucas De Marchi** <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com> is the current
   maintainer of the project.
