+
+Martin Ling conceived the idea for the library, designed the API and wrote much
+of the implementation and documentation.
+
+The initial codebase was adapted from serial code in libsigrok, written by Bert
+Vermeulen and Uwe Hermann, who gave permission for it to be relicensed under
+the LGPL3+ for inclusion in libserialport.
+
+The package is maintained by Uwe Hermann, with input from Martin Ling.
+
+Aurelien Jacobs made several contributions, including the USB metadata API,
+improvements to the port enumeration code, and eliminating the previous
+dependence on libudev for enumeration on Linux.
+
+Uffe Jakobsen contributed the FreeBSD support.
+
+Matthias Heidbrink contributed support for non-standard baudrates on Mac OS X.
+
+Bug fixes have been contributed by Bert Vermeulen, silverbuddy, Marcus
+Comstedt, Antti Nykanen, Michael B. Trausch and Janne Huttunen.
+
+For a full history of contributions, see the git history.
+
+Others have helped the project by contributing bug reports and discussion.
