 Great, this makes it simple: {{{git shortlog  --format='%an' -s|cut
 -c8-|sort}}}. To avoid appearance of the same person with different name
 notations the .mailcap feature can help ({{{git help shortlog}}}).

 > There are a lot of Tor Browser-related repositories, so we'll need to
 look at committers of all sorts.  Also, many people have contributed very
 important ways, including design, translation, testing, admin, community
 building, documentation, metrics, etc. We should give all people involved
 credit for their efforts because they help make Tor Browser possible.
 Also, I would like to give credit to our Mozilla collaborators who have
 contributed so much to our anti-tracking and cross-compilation efforts.

 translation", etc.
 This is the tricky part and i have the feeling a wiki page might be better
 suited to collect all project links and working areas. What do you think
 about if we use [[doc/TorBrowser/Contributors]] as a start? I would take
 care to fill it over time and start asking around how people want to be
 listed, or at best everyone can change their entry at will.
