Jeroen either adapted Minh's script or rewrote it, but at any rate we have a long tradition of explicitly acknowledging reviewers and authors and new authors and ... I mean, presumably someone else can run this on the current thing but I don't know what changes would have to be made to the script to make it function well with the new setup. Jeroen did do it once or twice so far (thanks!) but I can imagine he might want to not have to do it forever.
