SOPS was initially launched as a project at Mozilla in 2015 and has been
graciously donated to the CNCF as a Sandbox project in 2023, now under the
stewardship of a `new group of maintainers <https://github.com/getsops/community/blob/main/MAINTAINERS.md>`_.
The original authors of the project were:
* Adrian Utrilla @autrilla
* Julien Vehent @jvehent
Furthermore, the project has been carried for a long time by AJ Bahnken @ajvb,
and had not been possible without the contributions of numerous `contributors <https://github.com/getsops/sops/graphs/contributors>`_.
Credits

SOPS was inspired by `hiera-eyaml <https://github.com/TomPoulton/hiera-eyaml>`_,
`credstash <https://github.com/LuminalOSS/credstash>`_,
`sneaker <https://github.com/codahale/sneaker>`_,
`password store <http://www.passwordstore.org/>`_ and too many years managing
PGP encrypted files by hand...
