This is all fine and dandy, but one matter that doesn't seem to be
mentioned in anything I've read is how/if you are going to match the SVN
usernames with proper git-ready authorship information (i.e. email
addresses).
Did you prepare such matching list? Like, I have a 111 lines authors
file that I used in the past for some conversions I did (coming from the
debian-med team, fwiw), but I'm sure that if you are going to properly
convert collab-maint you'll need quite a longer list.
