Nice. Let's also add an API to people.php.net or master.php.net, and then retrieve full names for the report. And once refined, we could explore similar reports for other php.net sub-projects. > Perhaps the Doc-related reports emails could have a footer promoting > the online editor and/or other main Doc resources. Good idea. And maybe this will be extra motivation to create a proper "HOWTO contribute to the php.net project", or at least, to the documentation. And then we'll add that link to the footer.
