You seem to care about crediting your contributors - nice.
I personally find that showing a bit of gratitude to infrequent
contributors can go a long way - open source is more than just the code,
it is also the positive social aspects that it can foster :)
[Then there are the legal folks that say that properly tracking
contributions makes it easier to defend against litigation - but that
reason for maintaining 'AUTHORS' doesn't have quite the positive
connotations as a belief in a society built on decency. :) ]
I think I should consolidate all my email addresses an git default configs, but
until that is done you can apply the attached patch.
Applied, and thanks again.
