I've just taken a look at Felix's work in the gazette-tools egg, and
added in Andy Bennett's script to parse mailing list archives. I've
generalised the users.lst mechanism a little to make it easy to map from
real names to wiki links, and modified Andy's script to do that for
email author names - and the results are awesome!

I'll look into Andy's shellery to parse the git logs next - in the
meantime, I encourage interested parties to have a play:

chicken-install -s gazette-tools
generate-eggs-history
generate-list-history

...and laud Andy and Felix for their good work so far!
