The SubmittingPatches doc suggests adding "tags" in the style of
"Signed-off-by" to commit messages, and suggests some in common usage.
However, based on usage on the Git mailing list (and in particular,
Junio C Hamano's email to René Genz on 23 April), the suggested
"Thanks-to" is not common usage, and should instead be "Helped-by".
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
