It's a fork of pybsddb, originally contributed by Gregory Smith (*).
For all practical purposes, he also "owns" it, but hasn't objected
to others making changes in the past.

At the time it was imported, I recall the plan was to out-phase
pybsddb, and only keep the version in Python. It appears that things
have developed differently.
