It's pretty big and would need continual ongoing maintenance for what seems to me relatively little value. Maybe you can diff the git shortlog before and after this patch and determine if this is really useful. Also, some of these entries look odd at first glance: +Adam Brooks Is that the same person? -Al Viro -Al Viro [] +Alexander Viro I think I've never seen that name before. I stopped looking at the patch after that. I ran a git shortlog -n -s before and after your patch and I'm a bit confused by the result. Some people seem to be missing altogether. (Avi Kivity, etc...) Some people have _fewer_ commits. (Andrew Morton, etc...) Any idea why?
