Thanks, it was nice to see a more comprehensive list in one spot.

It would be neat to have a tool that presents all of these
automatically, but I think the email ones are pretty tricky (most people
don't have the whole list archive sitting around).

With the advent of public inbox, this is easy to obtain?

For our project, yes. But I was thinking of a tool that could be used
for other projects, too.

At one point I sent a patch series that would let shortlog group by
trailers. Nobody seemed all that interested and I didn't end up using it
for its original purpose, so I didn't polish it further.  But I'd be
happy to re-submit it if you think it would be useful.

I would think it is useful. Didn't Linus also ask for a related thing?

He wanted grouping by committer, which we ended up adding as a separate
feature. I think there's some discussion of the trailer thing in that
thread.
