+The Winit maintainers would like to recognize the following former Winit
+contributors, without whom Winit would not exist in its current form. We thank
+them deeply for their time and efforts, and wish them best of luck in their
+future endeavors:
+
+* @tomaka: For creating the Winit project and guiding it through its early
+  years of existence.
+* @francesca64: For taking over the responsibility of maintaining almost every
+  Winit backend, and standardizing HiDPI support across all of them
