I did it last time. It's been a while now, but I think what I did was basically look at all the commit messages from the previous release to the current one, and then used a perl script to extract everything that looked like a name or an email address. Then I manually went through and cleaned things up by verifying names, removing duplicates, etc. This relies on the actual commiter giving credit to the patcher, but everyone here is really good about doing that. :) Not sure if I still have the script around, but I can dig it up if it's needed.
I'm trying the following on the archives:
grep From: `find 2004-* 2003-1[12] -type f -name "msg*" -exec grep --silent "^diff
" {} \; -print` | \
awk -F: '{print $3}' | \
sed 's/<\/em>//g' | \
sed 's/</ /' | \
awk '{printf"%s %s\n", $1, $2}' | \
sort -uThe problem with commit logs is that a good portion are just 'reports from' vs patches ... neither method will necessarily be particularly accurate :)
