Well, that's not a loggerhead view (yet?).  This is:

http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~afcowie/java-gnome/codegen/changes

Thanks to Robey's recent changes, this no longer assigns all the credit
to you.  It doesn't assign it to anyone else either, but hey, it's a

I don't really have a good answer to this.  Maybe you could list all
authors who committed to the branch being merged since it diverged from
mainline?
