Hm. I found two entries with wrong dates: rpaulo@ returned his commit bit in 2010. dhartmei@ returned his commit bit in 2008. Also, I see a lot of missing dates. This should hopefully fix most of them: scrappy@ (1996 - 2011) tg@ (1995 - 2009) tegge@ (1997 - 2008) foxfair@ (1998 - 2008) fenner@ (1996 - 2008) andreas@ (1996 - 2008) -- Joel
