The thing is, if you have git, you can basically already do this.
Do a script like this:
#!/bin/sh
git log --since=6.months.ago -- "$@" |
grep -i '^ [-a-z]*by:.*@' |
sort | uniq -c |
sort -r -n | head
and it gives you a rather good picture of who is involved with a
particular subdirectory or file.
A much *better* picture than some manually maintained thing, in fact,
because it tells you who really does the work, and which way patches go...
(Maybe you want to add a
grep -v '\(Linus Torvalds\)\|\(Andrew Morton\)'
to avoid seeing the normal chain too much, but hey, we probably want to
know too. Anyway - the script can certainly be tweaked, the point is
really just that the git tree _already_ contains the relevant
information).
