Thanks.
I have a question though.
We have a much longer list of contributors (as opposed to committers) because
the project workflow historically had a large number of contributors funneling
contributions through a small number of people with cvs commit privilege.

I found 168 unique contributors listed in the ChangeLog files,
compared to the 14 committers in your list above. 
Will the names of the true contributors be lost in the conversion process?
That would be sad.
