Here's the AUTHORS diff it generates. I tried to make sure no one was dropped,
but it could use another look
As you comment in the original patch, I think it's best to sort the
output.
In libguestfs we sort by author string (ie. by the first name that
appears):
git log --pretty="format:%an <%ae>" | sort -u | uniq -w 10
