maybe work with @misterdjules on what he uses for joyent/node? I'd prefer it to be managed automatically and not by first commit as that's frustrating to manage

@robertkowalski In joyent/node, we use a small node program that writes the names (not email addresses) to the AUTHORS file in lexicographic stable order.

The pros of using a node program is that it works everywhere node works.

The nice thing about ordering lexicographically (with a stable ordering algorithm) is that it makes it easier to update the AUTHORS file when merging branches because there's no need to find out manually who contributed first.
