Agreed. Something along the lines of

    $ git shortlog --no-merges -s -n -t Helped-by -t Reviewed-by v2.3.0..

A quick grep/uniq/sort gives this

   1512     Acked-by
    537     Reviewed-by
    389     Reported-by

It looks like people are quite creative. I think all these "*-by" (so
-t supports wildcards) and Thanks-to: could be also considered as
contribution.
