Authors of GNU Bison.

Bison was written primarily by Robert Corbett.

Richard Stallman made it Yacc-compatible.

Wilfred Hansen of Carnegie Mellon University added multicharacter
string literals and other features (Bison 1.25, 1995).

Akim Demaille rewrote the parser in Bison, and changed the back end to
use M4 (1.50, 2002).

Paul Hilfinger added GLR support (Bison 1.50, 2002).

Joel E. Denny contributed canonical-LR support, and invented and added
IELR and LAC (Lookahead Correction) support (Bison 2.5, 2011).

Paolo Bonzini contributed Java support (Bison 2.4, 2008).

Alex Rozenman added named reference support (Bison 2.5, 2011).

and nasty bugs.
