Well,
 (a) I'm impressed with your little script
 (b) it doesn't need to be platform independent - it will only be run
     once.
 (c) Actually, I wonder if this is something of a redherring. All it
     will show us is the committers who have committed to CVS or SVN.
     But we know that already. What we want to know is who has
     contributed other than committers.

Well, we can use Jira to note contributions, and then manually copy them
into our contribution records. I imagine that is what Pier means.

I had missed the related ongoing thread (Re: author tags) when I sent
the e-mail with the script. It says basically the same as (c), that
is, that the committers are not the important info to gather. Even
some previous discussion (2004 to mid 2005) about the issue is
mentioned.

So I'm basically lost (again).

But thank you very much for your feedback...

I will try to get things clearer on the other thread.
