For the last two years, you can find a lot of email addresses in BK, and
you can clean them up with the name translations found in the "shortlog"
script (part of "BK-tools" at http://bktools.bkbits.net/bktools).
Well, right now you won't get any real information from the sign-off
lines, since only a few people have started using it (7 people at the time
of this writing ;), so you're better off just doing statistics on the
output of "bk changes -a" or something.

Thanks for the tip! I'm not familiar with BK at all, so I'll have to try
it. So far, I've been collecting all the diffs to the CREDITS file back
to version 1.0. Of course, I've some time on my hands, and I enjoy every
minute of insanity ;)
The fun part will come when it is time to cross-reference and index it
all. I'm not sure I'm up to that yet, but we'll see what happens. Thanks
again!
