Aw: Re: A plea for volunteers (Fwd: CVS support at SourceForge ends Nov. 30)

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

According to the DVCS migration HOWTO http://www.catb.org/~esr/reposurgeon/dvcs-migration-guide.html
we need a list of committers. Please find below my first attempt on that. Commiter IDs
are taken from the openhub summary https://www.openhub.net/p/gnuplot/contributors, 
full names and emails from the ChangeLog, and timezones are guesswork mostly. Please send
additions or corrections either to this list or directly to me.
