Assuming that git-contacts may some day be promoted to a core git
command, the documentation is written and formatted as if it already
belongs in Documentation/ even though it presently resides in
contrib/contacts.

The purpose of git-contacts is to determine a list of people who might
have some interest in a patch or set of changes. It can be used as
git-send-email's --cc-cmd argument or the computed list might be used to
ask for comments on a proposed change. As such, it is important to
report up-to-date email addresses in the computed list rather than
potentially outdated ones recorded with commits. Apply git's mailmap
functionality to the retrieved contacts in order to achieve this goal.

As a convenience, accept the same style <since> committish as accepted
by git-format-patch. For example:
% git contacts origin
will consider commits in the current branch built atop 'origin', just as
"git format-patch origin" will format commits built atop 'origin'.

For example:
% git contacts R1..R2
Committishes and patch files can be mentioned in the same invocation:
% git contacts R1..R2 extra/*.patch

This script lists people that might be interested in a patch by going
back through the history for each patch hunk, and finding people that
reviewed, acknowledged, signed, authored, or were Cc:'d on the code the
patch is modifying.
It does this by running git-blame incrementally on each hunk and then
parsing the commit message. After gathering all participants, it
determines each person's relevance by considering how many commits
mentioned that person compared with the total number of commits under
consideration. The final output consists only of participants who pass a
minimum threshold of participation.
Several conditions controlling a person's significance are currently
hard-coded, such as minimum participation level, blame date-limiting,
and -C level for detecting moved and copied lines. In the future, these
conditions may become configurable.
For example:
% git contacts 0001-remote-hg-trivial-cleanups.patch
Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Max Horn <max@quendi.de>
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Thus, it can be invoked as git-send-email's --cc-cmd option, among other
possible uses.
This is a Perl rewrite of Felipe Contreras' git-related patch series[1]
written in Ruby.
