Does this mean it won't work if you have svn? Can we make this work with SVN as well?

Can I give myself sweet aliases?

Yes. The script already does something like:

    if not Git.in_working_directory("."):
        print """\n\nWARNING: validate-committer-lists requires a git checkout.
The following checks are disabled:
 - List of inactive committers
 - List of inactive reviewers
 - List of historical committers missing from contributors.json
"""
        return 1

> Can we make this work with SVN as well?

Possibly, with extra work, which I don't intend to do.

I regret my r+ :(. I am really not a fan of tools that don't work in our default configuration. Please please reconsider.

Bugzilla no longer autocompletes any email. Could this be because of this change?

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

It works for me. Maybe clear caches?

Yes, this did the trick. Thank you.
