Hi all,

I am planning to migrate Opie's source code repository from CVS to git. CVS is 
getting quite old and has been rather limiting for some time now, and git 
seems like the natural alternative for an open project. While the CVS 
repository will likely remain for reference I think it's desirable to transfer 
all of the old history to git rather than starting from scratch, so that you 
can see the full change history for all files there. Thus I will be using 
cvs2git to perform the conversion.

One of the subparts of this conversion is to translate CVS committer names 
into "name <email>" format. This required a little detective work on my part, 
however using the public mailing list archives and some of my own knowledge I 
was able to come up with the following (email addresses semi-obfuscated for 
web purposes only):

  http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/CommitterNames

Most of the email addresses have been defaulted to [email protected]; for 
a select few recent committers I have used email addresses that were used on 
the mailing list. It's possible that I have made a mistake somewhere or even 
that some committers would prefer a different email address to be used - I'm 
happy to modify people's entries if they want.

I plan on doing the final conversion during this coming weekend, so if anyone 
wants anything corrected please reply here or email me directly by Sunday.

Cheers,
Paul
