I'm trying the following on the archives:

grep From: `find 2004-* 2003-1[12] -type f -name "msg*" -exec grep --silent "^diff " {} \; -print` | \
awk -F: '{print $3}' | \
sed 's/<\/em>//g' | \
sed 's/</ /' | \
awk '{printf"%s %s\n", $1, $2}' | \
sort -u

The problem with commit logs is that a good portion are just 'reports
from' vs patches ... neither method will necessarily be particularly
accurate :)
