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.
