Re: [PATCH] Clean up 'THANKS' and 'AUTHORS'.
After gathering some information about people, I updated this patch (attached) to fix some names and emails. I'm going to wait for a couple of days before pushing it to let people check this info. >From 0d0b74ec009dee0147a2bca2b314e9294e69c897 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Kost Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 20:42:32 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Clean up 'THANKS' and 'AUTHORS'. * THANKS: Add Konrad Hinsen, Cyprien Nicolas, Yakkala Yagnesh Raghava and Alexander Shendi.

John Darrington skribis: > The measure of contribution of any one individual cannot be determined by > any parametric algorithm. ‘THANKS’ definitely has to be maintained manually, for the reason you give. There are people who are helping in ways that do not involve Git commits, and we want to acknowledge that. ‘AUTHORS’ is meant to list people who contributed code, so generating it is fine IMO. Ludo’.

Well, I don't think that will happen, or that it would be such an issue :) Still, it feels nice to have your name included in THANKS/AUTHORS because someone actually thought "damn, this developer does a lot of work, how is their name not in AUTHORS ?". Having a make target adding it is a bit "meh", imho. Cyril.

LGTM! I think we should consider generating ‘AUTHORS’ upon ‘make dist’ eventually, ideally with a list of those who contributed to the last release, and then the list of all those who contributed at all.

Re: [PATCH] Clean up 'THANKS' and 'AUTHORS'.
After some investigating, I found that several people who made commits are not mentioned at all (neither in THANKS, nor in AUTHORS)! People I added to AUTHORS: - Arne Babenhauserheide: he added 'mercurial' package. - Ian Denhardt: he added 'feh' package, 'version-prefix' and 'version-major+minor' procedures, and some other things. - Kevin Lemonnier: he added 'zsh' and 'weechat' packages and a patch for 'lua'. - Mathieu Lirzin: he added 'markdown', 'xbindkeys' and 'dionysus' packages, and moved HACKING to the manual! - Pierre-Antoine Rault: he added 'python-dbus' package. - Ben Woodcroft: he added several bioinformatics packages. People I added to THANKS (or should they be moved to AUTHORS?): - Konrad Hinsen: he added some documentation. - Cyprien Nicolas: he added 'guild' check to "configure.ac" and fixed a couple of typos. - Yakkala Yagnesh Raghava: he fixed a typo in Nixpkgs URL. - Alexander Shendi: he added 'libx11' input to 'mit-scheme' package. I hope I didn't miss anyone. The modified patch is attached. >From d9b060b6b691b43eb07e107107955764e632cb78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Kost Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2015 20:42:32 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Clean up 'THANKS' and 'AUTHORS'. * AUTHORS: Add Arne Babenhauserheide, Ian Denhardt, Alex Kost, Kevin Lemonnier, Mathieu Lirzin, Pierre-Antoine Rault and Ben Woodcroft.

It's fine the way it is, that is: i would sort myself as if my family name was just "Walt", too. However, i care about that marginally less than i do about incorrect capitalisation of van/der :). Thank you, p.

Out of pure curiosity, why are we not thanking so many people any more? I don't have any vested interest, i'm really just idly wondering. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
