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 :)
