Description
I was going to add our new developers to the list.
Something I neglected doing and then I discover what appears to be an authors list hasn't been updated in a decade.
We should either update it or chuck it.
https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/geos/geos/src/branch/master/AUTHORS
Most notably missing, though I'm probably forgetting some folks:
Howard Butler Dan Baston Kurt Schwehr Vicky Vergara
People that should be moved to "In Active":
Frank Warmerdam Mateusz Loskot (as much as I love him and wish he didn't leave us, I will weep a couple of tears when I move him to the "In Active" bin)
BTW I don't think "In Active" is the right term here or is that intentional - who wrote this? I think it should be Inactive or did we mean a different kind of "Active"?
By the way, I noticed there is an event track in this file. Isn't that what NEWS is for and if not move it to like a CREDITS file.
Can we have AUTHORS just be an AUTHORS file?

I'm pretty sure I've never contributed to JTS and my name is in there too.

I suggest changing the word "In active" to something more accurate as "Inactive" or "Not Active"
From what I understand the authors are the JTS people
