to make it easier for people (especially newcomers to the project) to add review
tags, we need a database mapping gitlab usernames to author names & emails. that
way, if someone just comments "rb" or whatever, there's a direct way to look
that up. this comimt adds a list of current contributors with the following
methodology:
1. first, I grabbed all names + emails of recent authors, with mailmap applied,
as proxy for active contributors:
$ git log --since=2025-01-01 --pretty='%aN,%aE,'|sort | uniq
2. then, I scraped usernames via the gitlab api attempting to match by name. I
don't want to hammer the gitlab api too much which is why I tried to keep the
list in #1 as small as possible.
import gitlab
import subprocess
import tempfile
import sys
import urllib.request
import csv
gl = gitlab.Gitlab('https://gitlab.freedesktop.org', private_token=...)
names = {}
with open('dump.csv') as csvfile:
spamreader = csv.reader(csvfile)
for row in spamreader:
if len(row) == 3:
names[row[0]] = row[1]
for name in names:
users = gl.users.list(search=name)
print(', '.join([name, names[name]] + [u.username for u in users]))
3. finally, I fixed up various data issues by hand. there were cases of both
people with multiple usernames (I tried to pick the one that's actually in
use), and people whose name on their profile does not match the name in their
commits (I tried to determine the username from searching gitlab manually,
but dropped a number of such authors when it was nontrivial to figure out. I
am a regular reviewer across the tree so if I don't recognize your name
you're probably not that active, sorry.)
