Wow. I'm tempted to be insulted, but I'll let it slide. :-)

$ svn log swigutil_py.[ch] | grep -r '^r[0-9]' | cut -d\| -f2 | \
                             sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr
     57 cmpilato
     22 kfogel
     22 gstein
     10 trow
      6 ghudson
      4 philip
      4 blair
      2 striker
      2 rey4
      2 rassilon
      2 julianfoad
      2 jerenkrantz
      2 fitz
      2 breser

(and beat information out of Greg Stein whenever I need it). Will
