[Bug ada/15977] New: Ada contributors should be documented

[jsm28 at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The main people who have contributed to GNU Ada should be documented
in gcc/doc/contrib.texi.  At present, even the people listed in
MAINTAINERS as GNU Ada maintainers are not mentioned at all in contrib.texi.

(Previously requested in <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-05/msg01181.html>,
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-10/msg00326.html> and
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-02/msg00198.html>.)

Any volunteer to e.g. write a script to extract the names ?

Extract them from where?  gcc/ada/ChangeLog only starts in 2001, and as
GNU Ada has existed for many years I suppose there are significant
contributors who haven't contributed since before then.  In any case,
someone needs to write descriptions of the contributions on the same sort
of level as the existing ones in contrib.texi.

Probably not much, since almost all contributors to the GNAT project are
still active and employees of AdaCore (there are of course a few exceptions).

Well, if you want something else than contributions to the Ada front-end/
run time/tools, that will require a lot of work.

Describing contributions simply as contributions to Ada is reasonable
if no more information is available.  If some individuals' contributions
have been largely in particular areas, more information about those
areas would of course be nice.  The following are mentioned at least
five times in ada/ChangeLog but not in contrib.texi:

Geert Bosch
Emmanuel Briot
Joel Brobecker
Vincent Celier
Arnaud Charlet
Robert Dewar
Gary Dismukes
Ed Falis
Vasiliy Fofanov
Laurent Guerby
Jerome Guitton
Olivier Hainque
Hristian Kirtchev
Matt Kraai (not specifically an Ada contributor)
Javier Miranda
Pascal Obry
Thomas Quinot
Jose Ruiz
Doug Rupp
Sergey Rybin
Ed Schonberg
Florian Weimer

Fewer than five times, some judgement may be needed, depending on any
other contributions, before the ChangeLog or elsewhere in the compiler:

Bernard Banner
Romain Berrendonner
Paolo Bonzini (not specifically an Ada contributor)
Ben Brosgol
Cyrille Comar
Christian Cornelssen (not specifically an Ada contributor)
Ramon Fernandez
Matthew Gingell
Albert Lee
Andre Leis
Michael Matz (not specifically an Ada contributor)
Laurent Pautet
Andrew W. Reynolds
Jerome Roussel
Richard Sandiford (not specifically an Ada contributor)
Nicolas Setton
Samuel Tardieu

Subject: Re:  Ada contributors should be documented

Thanks for producing this list, that's a very useful start.

Let me have a look at those names and whether some more info can be
added, and get back on this PR when I get a chance.

Below is the list of people who made more than 15 check ins for files currently part of GNAT over the 
lifetime of the project since it originally started at NYU. This is a one-time generated list. I verified with 
a few long-time members of the project that this is a reasonably accurate list. One exception was made 
for Paul Hilfinger, who only has done 12 check ins in the compiler, but has been involved with the 
design from the very beginning and also contributed and maintained the Ada support for GDB.
In the future people will be added when the maintainers recognize that a person has made significant 
contributions.
