I git'ified the original CVS scripts... it would be trivial to extract the author-name (add %an in the format string for git-log), but we tried to keep the generated e-mail to 80-char lines - and that would blow it.
git log --name-status --format=%at,%cE,%h,%an If people feel the tracker-mail is the place to do this - perhaps we could list %cn, %an (committer, author)-name and append some "Thanks to the following contributors" list-where cn != an? git log --name-status --format=GENTOOPENGUIN,%cn,%an --after 2016-12-12 | grep ^GENTOOPENGUIN | awk -F"," '$2!=$3 { print $3 }' | sort -u Andreas K.
