@sedawkgrep : Good eye for details. Yes, one of the authors that changed their name, or used more than one. A few years back there was a large audit done and some corrections (like this release) were made.

@Tig - this may be misattributed. The readme says the author is "maxxus".

Upon deeper investigation, it seems as though the author (based on their email address) has used both KRIS and maxxus as their nickname, and both names are authors here.
