Please set a day for this!

The script for ckan was more complicated than is should be for the
extensions because we had to change the history in order to make
github work with people who did not put a proper email address in.  I
do not think such detail needs to be gone into for the extensions as
most of them do not have a very messy history.

There are a lot of repositories. It will be a bit unfair if I have to
do, what is essentially a tedious task, all myself.  Also the main
person working on the repository should be the person to do it as they
are in a better place to check if everything seems correct i.e at
least run the extensions tests.  I am happy for an effort to share the
burden, teach people how to do it, and do it on a particular day,
nonetheless.

Thanks

David
