Looking at the commit history, he is the author of almost all the code written in the last ten years. Even if there was someone before him (who was it? I couldn't find any reference to them), how could we not consider him the author of the project by now?
- x1798DE 7y agoThe original title made reference to Ned as the "creator of coveragepy", which specifically means the person who created it. The original author was Gareth Rees, according to Contributors.txt [1], and Ned Batchelder took over in 2004. I don't mean it to suggest that Ned has a lessor role than creator, just that the post's title was changed to add inaccurate information. I figured that if the moderators saw this and decided that the context of the author's role in Coverage was important, they could update the title to reflect his actual role.
