My concern with this is that it leaves out important email contributors. For example if a user reports a bug, we typically include their name in CHANGES.txt The user who reports the bug does the "hard work" of finding that there is a bug and reporting it to us. Additionally sometimes they do extra stuff, boiling the problem down to a certain piece of code, into a test case, etc, even if they don't know how to fix the bug. Then again, maybe they are a solr user who doesn't even know the java programming language but finds a nasty bug in lucene. In all cases I think if a user finds a bug and we fix it, its important we credit them as we should encourage people to find bugs :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
