For a better challenge how about sorting by number of ChangeLog
entries?

That has the advantage of handling overflow. There are 40 names
recorded in the ChangeLog so far and we're probably going to run out
of page space at some point :-)

BTW, if any texinfo hacker can see why the manual blows the stack in
texi2pdf that would be really appreciated. The PDF version of our
manual is unnecessarily ugly at present due to ps2pdf'ification.
