<b>Please Note:</b> The author information in the datatracker about RFCs
72+
with numbers lower than about 1300 and drafts from before 2001 is
73+
unreliable and in many cases absent. For this reason, statistics on these
74+
pages does not show correct author stats for corpus selections that involve such
75+
documents.

The reason for this situation is that Datatracker is primarily focused on
83+
managing workflow, not trying to provide history from the beginning of
84+
time. The Tools Team has talked about ways to crowd source this
85+
information, but the tooling to allow people with Datatracker accounts
86+
enter the author data is likely to be quite a bit of work, and is not
87+
imminent.
