Hi. I am Gaetan, the current maintainer of Guake ! I am so sorry to see you find your "authorship" having disappeared from the Guake history, there was no intent from my part to remove it ! I only discussed with the maintainer back in 2013 from Pierre Yves, there has been many maintainers over the years I do not even know !

This history would have indeed a very place in the HISTORY page in the documentation, do not hesitate to write it, or with your permission, I copy/paste most of your comment.

Do not hesite to reach me in order to find a good way to put satisfying credits in the history.

Hello Gaetan, thank you so much for adding the authorship back. Please don't get me wrong, I know you're not responsible for it disappearing and I'm not looking to blame anyone. I'm happy that Guake is still being active maintained.

I'll submit a pull-request with the story soon.

Thank you!

cool ! If only we could take a beer together ! But, at least, I hope, this will end up in a nice story and blog posts about opensource software development. We are all humans, mistakes can be made. The project lived a lot actually, and many files has been changed, the "chain" of maintainers made some of them not knowing the others !

This whole exchange being so cordial and positive makes me really happy.

I have an idea.

Why don't you set up a video conference between you, each bring your own beer, and share a toast to the fair-minded way in which this was resolved?

The world needs more endings like this.
