... Peter Cherna.

Peter left the Amiga Devcon '90 with two things:  he is now the "keeper" of
Intuition, and the winner of the Third Usenet Boing! Award.  Quoting Dave
Haynie, "Peter is the first Canadian and the first software guy to win the
award". Congratulations, Peter!

The "keeper of" Intuition is the person responsible for mantaining it. 
Originally that person was R.J. Mical.  Jimm Mackraz took over when RJ
left, and Jim passed the torch to Peter at one of the DevCon sessions.
