when generating the 2.6.0 release announcement, I did an svn log on trunk to the release corresponding to the 2.5.0 release, pulled out all the unique committer names, looked up their Name in CREDITS, then alphabetized by last name. I also grabbed all "courtesy of" and in one case, had to look up on a trac ticket to find out who submitted the patch was used (there was "patch applied" note. When applying other people's patches, IWBNI you named them specifically)

I also did a diffstat to find out how many files were touched. (I didn't bother with LOC due to the # of generated files)

IWBNI if this was automated for the next release manager.

Low priority given a pending move from svn to git.
