+Updating the authors file
+-------------------------
+
+From the root of the ``bitmask-dev`` repo::
+
+  pkg/tools/get_authors.sh
+
+However, beware that some of the codebase from the legacy bitmask_client repo has not been preserved with the original authorship. Do not remove people here just because you don't see the commits they made :)
