Hi,

I would like to examine the CREDITS files of all/most kernels released over
time. How could I get my hands on these? I want to study the accumulation
of contributors over the years. This is part of my masters thesis project.

BTW, when was the current twofold stable/devel numbering scheme started?

Thanks,
