Description:
Philip Hazel was 51 when he began the Exim message transfer agent (MTA)
project in 1995, which
led to the Perl-Compatible Regular
Expressions (PRCE) project in 1998. At 80,
he's maintained PCRE, and its successor PCRE2, for more than 27
years. For those doing the math, that's a year longer than LWN has
been in publication. Exim maintenance was handed off around the time
of his retirement in 2007. Now, he is ready to hand off PCRE2 as well,
if a successor can be found.
