Quick comment: the script src/list_authors.hs has some code which maps
email addresses in darcs changes (on the darcs repository) to canonical
names.

For example, my loria.fr address, the gmail one and now the
brighton.ac.uk all go to the same Eric Kow.  More usefully, anonymous
addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED] get turned into names.  Perhaps somebody
should wade in to this code.

Maybe we could break it up so that it *only* canonicalises names (it
could then be used in conjunction with darcs show authors).  We could
then ship the template as a tool that other projects could use for
their AUTHORS files.
