Detect signatories for rms-open-letter (the “against letter”), in hope of helping data mining/analysis studies. For research purpose only.
Run detect.lisp in from Common Lisp environment.
Or see pre-generated list of GitHub usernames in github-users.txt and emails in emails.txt.
Unlike support letter, the against letter is very opaque in its signing/verfication procedure. Therefore we do it at best effort.
Currently 4 strategies are deployed
- Manual entries. Sometimes someone get some attention.
- Commit emails. It can be either real email, or dummy one of the form
username@users.noreply.github.com - Commit message. Their maintainers make lots of (probably generated by default) commit message of the form
Merge pull request from username/balabala. We can then get the username. - GitHub repo API in JSON. Get contributors.
