Github user robertkowalski commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/312#issuecomment-88990194 building the thanks file on 1.x currently works like this: 1. take content from THANKS.in and pipe it into the THANKS file 2. get committer list from date of their contribution and add it to the THANKS file (see https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/1.6.x/bootstrap#L57-63) the thanks file was never ordered alphabetically and i don't see why it should be. what would be the improvement?
