This is an editorialized title and as far as I know it's not even accurate. The author maintains, but did not create coverage.py.

I don't mean it to suggest that Ned has a lessor role than creator, just that the post's title was changed to add inaccurate information. I figured that if the moderators saw this and decided that the context of the author's role in Coverage was important, they could update the title to reflect his actual role.
