- This way we can do the more intuitive:
```
$ brew contributions --repos=brew,core rslpolster@gmail.com
Person rslpolster@gmail.com directly authored 1580 commits and co-authored 125 commits to brew, core in all time.
```
- Before each AGM it's currently a manual process for a PLC member to
search commit logs and GitHub to figure out who contributed to
Homebrew, so who should remain a member.
- I noticed that [looking at commits for a
user](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commits?author=issyl0&since=2022-01-01&until=2023-01-01)
would not count `Co-Authored-By`, which happens a lot now there's an
autosquash action on PRs in `Homebrew/homebrew-core`, say if someone
fixed a formula's build or tests or whatever and then the PR got
auto-merged.
- Here's `brew contributions` that uses `git log` to be able to go back
through all time or a specific time period (`--from`, `--to`). It's up
to individual PLC discretion for "activity", but it does at least go
some way to automating the data retrieval.
- Example (I can use my username as `--email` because my username is in
all of the email addresses that I use for committing to Homebrew):
```
$ brew contributions --email=issyl0 --repos=brew,core
Person issyl0 directly authored 732 commits and co-authored 31 commits to brew, core in all time.
```

This change will prevent us having to run some long running builds
multiple times and to rely on luck to get things merged without conflicts.
The check takes less than 30 secondes on my local setup.
