I often do `git log --author=Shawn next@{1}..next` to see what
commits of mine Junio has recently merged into git.git since my
last fetch.  Since I'm the only Shawn (with that spelling) that
contributes to git.git this works rather well to show my work.  ;-)

Here's another variant showing the top 20 committers to git.git, no Perl involved:

  $ git log | grep ^Author | cut -d\< -f1 | sort \
  	| uniq -c | sort -n -r | head -20
  3728 Author: Junio C Hamano 
   842 Author: Linus Torvalds 
   250 Author: Johannes Schindelin 
   217 Author: Jakub Narebski 
   194 Author: Eric Wong 
   166 Author: Petr Baudis 
   150 Author: Paul Mackerras

The only issue I have with that is I seem to have two attributions in git.git: 'Shawn Pearce' and 'Shawn O. Pearce'. Technically I'm in the top 10 by commit volume but its not immediately clear because of the two attributions being used. Really my only issue here is why sometimes my middle initial gets used and other times it doesn't.

You can also see the very clear gap between Junio and the rest of the world. There's very little dispute about who really codes Git. :-)

I'm personally suprised at Pasky's ranking: 166 commits! I did not realize he had contributed so frequently to git.git itself.
