OK, that's a good start. What I'm going to do in the lift file is
write expressions that identify selection sets, then use the names to
do partial 'authors read' applications. So:
(<1>..<14639> & /master/b) | /premerge-fsf-branch/b assign gcc2
(It's 'master' instead of 'trunk' because SVN trunk becomes master in gitspace.)
Then I can write three map files: one to be applied everywhere, one to be
applied in gcc only, and one to be applied everywhere except gcc2. I expect the
latter two will be small.

Looking at these I wouldn't be surprised if dje turned out to be the
only exception.
I'm pretty sure I know who bothner, brendan, drepper, eggert, ian,
jimb, meissner, and roland are; they've all had stable handles longer
than GCC has existed. (Raise a glass to Brendan Kehoe; he was a fine
hacker and a good man and it's a damn shame we lost him.)
Scrutiny should therefore fall particularly on amylaar, bje, bkoz,
dje, gavin, kenner, krab, law, meyering, mrs, raeburn, shebs, and
wilson.
Would someone grovel through Changelogs and suss this out? I'm
going to have my hands full for a bit merging the three different
maps I now have.
