I meant no offense. Just ran this command

git blame -p "$1" | awk '$1 ~ /author$/ { print substr($0, length("author "), length($0)) }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

on the for-each-ref.c and saw that Junio had the first place by a relatively large margin.

Similarly, the git-for-each-ref.txt (I used plain git blame on this one) has mostly been composed by Junio. Surely, it's not my privilege to decide on the list of authors, but I wonder why the original authors haven't claimed their rightful place in the docs.
