Kevin Pollet commented on HV-518:
---------------------------------

IMO, a script is enough. This script has to be called during the release process and the generated file has to commited with the changelog and the readme. 

The typos in author tags can be fixed with the pull request (I've already done it locally) but wrong author names in git commits cannot be fixed.

FYI, my script is here https://gist.github.com/89c5775b975dd6f93d12.
