Why force committers to keep track of who commented on their proposal?
We could easily write a script to extract this information from the
mailing list, based on who commented on the patch proposal.
I tried to manually write a list of who contributed to this proposal,
and I found that it is a bit labor-intensive and error-prone. It'd
save us all a lot of work if we wrote a script to do this. If we used
a script, we could also add links to the individual threads so you can
follow the discussion.
