first of all: in the above mail it should read "RFC"


Surely, who get the most benefit of it (the layout) does the most work.
Agreed, I will see what I can do -I'm unsure -

Currently, I'm thinking that the data for your shortlog are coming from
a sort of an git query or so and it would just be an easy adjustment of
the query parameter.

This seems not to be the case ?

To get an idea if my knowledge is sufficing (I'm no developer):

Where do you get the data from to generate your shortlog ?
