Unfortunately, the last problem we discussed is not solved, though:
If there's an insertion into the ChangeLog below an existing author line,
the current algorithm picks the author line _below_ instead of the one
_above_. This happens quite frequently and currently still leads to hundreds
of wrong attributions.
For examples try:
  git log --author=Ethan --committer=Bastian --oneline | wc -l
