Right, so I hacked together a few scripts, apparently the hardest task is deciding when people joined/left; cvs annotate doesn't help for removed lines, so I resorted to grepping the cvs mailing list archives for first and last commits. Having done that... I have a patch [1]! I've rendered the output at [2], and run several greps and uniqs over it to check I haven't made any mistakes too. Please would someone kindly check I haven't done anything awful before giving me go-ahead? (I'm a ports guy, so I should probably have an Approved tag in there...) The alumni with no start date have made commits in 1998, and I've assumed that they may have been members beforehand; it'd be pretty hard work chasing their dates down. On the plus side, we now have a start date for Bruce Cran :) Chris [1] http://www.bayofrum.net/~crees/lists/developers-list-20111103/article.h= tml [2] http://www.bayofrum.net/~crees/patches/contrib-developers.patch.txt
