You are missing the changes to the databases of authors.el and to the
ChangeLog.4 file as it was originally generated from Git logs, which I
made shortly prior to the pretest.  Of course "M-x authors" runs
cleanly now: that was why I needed to do all that work back then.

AFAIR, most of your mistakes were corrected in ChangeLog.4 itself,
before it was committed for the first time, so there's no easy way of
seeing what I fixed there.
