I don't know where Stuart and Renat are, nor how to reach them.  I took on upstream maintenance a little over a year ago and add myself and Devan Franchini as current maintainers.

Does anyone know?  Else I drop the emails (but not the names) from the AUTHORS file and from the man page.

It's been a little over two months now, what do you think we should do?

We should keep them in as the authors and remove their emails because they are dead.  We should show their copyright for the years up to when we took over as maintainers and then we should add copyright notices begining that year until present.
