Hehe, on an unrelated side note, that made me curious: 
Who did actually end up in org.texi, and how would I start to find out?

0. $ git blame -C -C -M -e org.texi > ~/git-blame.txt
   (I searched the web for that ;)
1. We are only interested in the email addresses, so quick clean up with
   a keyboard macro.
2. Get rid of duplicates: 
   M-x sort-lines
   C-x h 
   M-x shell-command-on-region 
   uniq

And... I see 67 different addresses. Some clearly belong to one person,
so getting rid of the obvious ones my count goes down to ... 58?

Wow... 
Fun.

Back to work :)
