Ah, I'd looked at git shortlog, but missed the -s option and instead
went looking for format options to remove commit titles and found none.

That works for me, and even takes care of the multiple email address
merges, though we could still use .mailmap to clean up a couple
inconsistently spelled names.  (Would be nice to have a global mailmap
across all Xorg/xcb repos, but I don't want to figure out the git
magic to make that work myself.)
