=E2=80=98THANKS=E2=80=99 definitely has to be maintained manually, for the =
reason you
give.  There are people who are helping in ways that do not involve Git
commits, and we want to acknowledge that.

=E2=80=98AUTHORS=E2=80=99 is meant to list people who contributed code, so =
generating it
is fine IMO.
