Thanks for working on this.

Note that we only need copyright assignments from authors that have made
"non-trivial" contributions. So by looking at this more closely you
could probably get the number of names down a bit.

There are no hard rules here but, for starters, we don't need
assignments from authors that have changed fewer than 15 or so lines of
code. Some other contribution(s) might count as trivial even if they
touch more lines (e.g. if they have just been fixing typos, if there are
whitespace changes that take them over the limit, or if they have just
moved some large function).

Do let us know if you have any doubts here, though. Better safe than
sorry.
