You're reinventing:
$ git shortlog -e -s

Looks like a separate patch introducing .mailmap is in order :)

Does Jekyll auto-create a /license file from the various LICENSE-* 
additions, or did you forget to 'git add' yet another file?  I'm 
assuming that this _includes/copyright.html is merely a footer appended 
on each page.

Is it worth being specific that the TEMPLATED portion is still 
CC-BY-3.0, while all other contributions are dual-licensed 
GPLv2+/CC-BY-SA-4.0?  Or, if we don't want that much details in the 
footer, should README at least mention the distinctions?
