We add a helper python script build-aux/make-authors.py The .mailmap is expanded to give output as close to the original AUTHORS file as possible. Drop the syntax-check that validated AUTHORS is up to date.
AUTHORS.in tracks the maintainers, as well as some folks who were previously in AUTHORS but don't have a git commit with proper attribution.
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
FWIW, -w is a GNU extension to uniq so it'll probably get you some unloving e-mails from Justin wrt Mac OS X support.
