SHOW AUTHORS
 
Description
----------- 
The SHOW AUTHORS statement displays information about the
people who work on MariaDB. For each author, it displays
Name, Location, and
Comment values. All columns are encoded as latin1.
 
In MariaDB 5.5 this is in somewhat random order.
 
In MariaDB 10.0.5 and later you have:
First the active people in MariaDB are listed.
Then the active people in MySQL.
Last the people that has contributed to MariaDB/MySQL in the
past.
 
The order is somewhat related to importance of the
contribution given to the MariaDB project, but this is not
100% accurate. There is still room for improvements and
debate...
