It looks like there was a misunderstanding about what you were trying to do. The discussion started around an attempt to get an updated version of the list of GIMP contributors.

Sorry for not understanding you correctly. But next time, please explain clearly what your goals are. ;-) > i am not going to change this by hand everyday.
