OK. I was only doing authors from 2.17.0 until 'now' (rather than
stopping at when you branched dev/2.18).

Hmm..

git log --since=25-08-2012 --pretty=medium | grep Author | grep Chong

That's how.

Sorry. I often don't know one 'new' Dev from another and we have been
getting a lot of checkins from Devs that don't have commit and/or push
access.

I did put this patch up for review though :")

Well I did a quick scan in the users list and they are not always using
a specific version and again technically most users are going to be
using 2.17 (or stable 2.16), but I have no feelings either way if you
want to remove him from the 2.18 lists.

Looks like it.

Apart from any one who thinks I have missed someone from the 'support'
list - most of those that support are already here or are in the other
core lists as far as I can tell.
