Automate maintenance for AUTHORS with update-copyright #669
Conversation
Use my external update-copyright package [1] to maintain the AUTHORS file. Don't maintain the copyright blurbs though, since this project sticks to: Copyright (c) 2014 Docker. <Apache blurb> and doesn't list the file's individual contributors. [1]: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/update-copyright/
The syntax is described in the MAPPING AUTHORS section of git-shortlog(1). I looked for oddities and obvious duplicates in the list of all commit authors, and added entries here that looked reasonable to me. When someone used multiple email addresses, I've chosen to standardize on whichever address they used for their last commit. I haven't contacted any of these folks to confirm my choices.

Love it :) Can I ask for a case-insensitive result? Also curous about how this compares with https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/hack/generate-authors.sh ? |

@dmp42 Should this still be marked Next-Generation? Are you going to cherry-pick this into the next-generation branch? |

@stevvooe yes I probably want the same script that docker core uses - will sort that one later this week. |

Agreed. |
Automate maintenance for AUTHORS with update-copyright
I mentioned this when @dmp42 wished for an automated way to maintain
AUTHORS in #667 1. I thought I'd submit my suggestion as a pull
request since that's probably easier to review than working through
the README on PyPI ;).
