The original eXIf chunk (which we added in 3rd Edition) is specified here.

The list of authors & editors from that spec seems to be left out of the 3rd Edition authors & editors.
I suspect when we added the eXIf chunk we simply missed that. It was early in 3rd Edition's work and things were a bit messier then.

I think we should add them. Thoughts?

To clarify, that eXIf chunk specification doesn't list "authors" and "editors" the way W3C currently does. Rather, it is people who contributed to the discussion. I think our intention is to add names of people who genuinely edited or proposed it. To that end, I think we should add Cosmin Truta and Phil Harvey. I will double check this on the PNG mailing list. But I believe they were the editors of the eXIf chunk.

I agree that those two should be added. There may be others, the original discussion was a while ago and I forget.

I suspect the official discussion started with Willem's message here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/png-mng/mailman/message/35578419/

I might be wrong but I think the message he referenced was on png-mng-implement therefore not an official discussion of a new chunk, though of course perfectly valid anywhere. Google only finds that specific reference for the first line he quoted; google finds what it wants to find.

So read from there. The chunk proposals both for eXIF and eXIf are there.
