Hello Gaetan, thank you so much for adding the authorship back.
Please don't get me wrong, I know you're not responsible for it disappearing and I'm not looking to blame anyone.
I'm happy that Guake is still being active maintained.
I'll submit a pull-request with the story soon.
Thank you!

cool ! If only we could take a beer together ! But, at least, I hope, this will end up in a nice story and blog posts about opensource software development. We are all humans, mistakes can be made. The project lived a lot actually, and many files has been changed, the "chain" of maintainers made some of them not knowing the others !

I have an idea.
Why don't you set up a video conference between you, each bring your own beer, and share a toast to the fair-minded way in which this was resolved?
The world needs more endings like this.
This history would have indeed a very place in the HISTORY page in the documentation, do not hesitate to write it, or with your permission, I copy/paste most of your comment.
Do not hesite to reach me in order to find a good way to put satisfying credits in the history.
