While it is true that I was behind adding ./configure support to git
in optional and non-intrusive way (configure.ac and config.mak.in),
mainly to be able to use %configure macro in git.spec -- which never
materialized, I lack in my opinion expertise in autoconf to be
a maintainer for those scripts.
David Syzdek offered to help or take the brunt of the work on our
autoconf corner, see e.g. this post:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/111923
but he wanted help of someone whom is familiar with the interaction
between the Makefile and configure.ac... which never materialized.
Instead of git-shortlog, you should take a look at git-blame output
who is responsible for more advanced corners of configure.ac:
David M. Syzydek (GIT_CHECK_FUNC), Ben Walton (GIT_STASH_FLAGS),
Ralf Wildenhues (caching support), etc.
