Ahem - first a general remark: Are you aware that the wiki is editable
by all? You can edit the page yourself (and while you are at it
- - you can also subscribe to the page, to get notified each time it is
updated).

Updated as best as I understand it - please adjust further yourself if
needed, instead of having me as your secretary :-) .

The old swsusp, or swsusp2, or both?

I am sure Max will update the page if/when that happens :-)

Hmm - actually I will leave that to others whether extending the list of
maintainers and contributors is considered relevant as "non-comparable
hilites" of initramfs-tools.

The wiki page is not intended as complete reference of the tools,
only of their functionalities. The only reason I added myself as
maintainer was as kind of a joke: Ubuntu and Jeff Bailey was added
already in an otherwise functional context. My fan club is no doubt
smaller, and I thought that perhaps even some people would avoid yaird
if "revealed" that I maintained it :-P
