When checking in changes, CVS provides a template with a "Submitted by:"
field for specifying the person who has submitted a patch. I've noticed that
people aren't using that field.

I'd like to ask that we use it for the simple case of being able to do a
"grep" on "Submitted by" to find *all* the people who have submitted changes
to SVN. This would allow us to gather up people for some kind of credits or
thanks.

[ in messages like above, we can't automagically find names ]

Cheers,
