D wouldn't be this powerful, rocking language as it is today without all its contributors who worked very hard on improving.
To start showing our gratitude and as a token of appreciation, we have started listing all the awesome people who made D possible on dlang.org:

https://dlang.org/contributors.html

The upcoming 2.078.0 release notes will also contain a listing of all the amazing people who made 2.078 a reality:

https://dlang.org/changelog/pending.html

This information is aggregated over all core D repositories (dmd, druntime, phobos, tools, dlang.org, installer).
For the nerds, as of now the information is extracted from 45389 commits.
For more details, see:

https://github.com/dlang/tools/blob/master/contributors.d

(it runs on the CLI too)

if (!contributorList.canFind(yourName)) {
   "Find a bug or improvement idea today and make a PR ;-)".writeln;
}

Cheers,

Seb

Cool stuff!

Would it be possible to apply a better style to that page, e.g., to wrap the list into multiple columns?  A long page with a single column of names is hard to read.

great. yet i think that the page should note that people are listed in alphabetical order, not in any "importance" order.

He'll appear the next time the list will be refreshed, assuming https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1989 get merged.

We could include dlang/dconf.org into the list of repositories parsed (Ali has made a couple of PRs there). At the moment the script only looks at dlang/dmd, dlang/druntime, dlang/phobos, dlang/dlang.org, dlang/tools and dlang/installer.
However, the `dconf.org` repository is rather big:

There are a few dups:

- "Adam D. Ruppe" and "adamdruppe"
- "UplinkCoder" and "Stefan Koch"
- "Hackerpilot" and "Brian Schott"
- "Iain Buclaw" and "ibuclaw"
- "Timothee Cour" and "timotheecour"
- "Abscissa" and "Nick Sabalausky"

Probably a few others that are less obvious, but that's only 1.05% anyway.

That isn't a dupe (*whistles*).
