One data point is sure nice (and it matches my perception),
but can we do data at project scale?

The quickest hack I could come up with is

  $ git log |grep Thanks-to |wc -l
  57
  $ git log |grep Helped-by |wc -l
  676

which reinforces the underlying data.

So I was wondering if there is a command that shows all trailers?
Similar to a "shortlog -sne" I would want to have a list of all trailers.
This is because there might be an even more popular trailer than
"Helped-by", but we would not know when using the hack above.

While I do not think so, it would sure be interesting to have a list
of all these trailers available.

Thanks,
Stefan
