Of the five people listed, Paul Eggert is the only one I would consider candidate for "LBIP", although I also note that he's the only one listed with "Need: Unknown" (which to me suggests the answer is actually "no"). Admittedly, I am simply not knowledgeable about the projects the other people work on. ESR listing himself is... egotistical (to say the least), especially since there's only one of his projects that I've ever tried using (cvs-fast-export). A look at his software page (http://www.catb.org/esr/software.html http://www.catb.org/esr/software.html) indicates nothing that's in wide use (contrary to his assertion, giflib isn't actually the GIF decoder used by any large web browser). The other person he actually links to mentions inhabiting ESR's basement periodically, which doesn't give me vibes of impartiality. It's also interesting to note that the list doesn't appear to have changed for over three years.
