# Hall of Champions
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.
* [@vberger]: For diligently creating the Wayland backend, and being its
extremely helpful and benevolent maintainer for years.
* [@francesca64]: For taking over the responsibility of maintaining almost every
winit backend, and standardizing HiDPI support across all of them.
* [@Osspial]: For heroically landing EventLoop 2.0, and valiantly ushering in a
vastly more sustainable era of winit.
* [@goddessfreya]: For selflessly taking over maintainership of glutin, and her
stellar dedication to improving both winit and glutin.
* [@ArturKovacs]: For consistently maintaining the macOS backend, and his
immense involvement in designing and implementing the new keyboard API.
