TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

Using the same search for 7.4 shows only 48 patch submitters, based on
posts to pgsql-patches ...

I did it last time. It's been a while now, but I think what I
did was basically look at all the commit messages from the
previous release to the current one, and then used a perl script
to extract everything that looked like a name or an email
address. Then I manually went through and cleaned things up by
verifying names, removing duplicates, etc. This relies on the
actual commiter giving credit to the patcher, but everyone
here is really good about doing that. Not sure if I still have
the script around, but I can dig it up if it's needed.

I'm trying the following on the archives:

grep From: `find 2004-* 2003-1[12] -type f -name "msg*" -exec grep --silent "^diff " {} \; -print` | \
awk -F: '{print $3}' | \
sed 's/<\/em>//g' | \
sed 's/</ /' | \
awk '{printf"%s %s\n", $1, $2}' | \
sort -u

The problem with commit logs is that a good portion are just 'reports
from' vs patches ... neither method will necessarily be particularly
accurate
