Filter out robot commits in stats

[Jonathan Lange]

The "bzr stats" output for lp:launchpad starts off like this:

$ bzr stats
getting ancestry
getting revisions
10046 Launchpad Patch Queue Manager <email address hidden>
5825 Canonical.com Patch Queue Manager <email address hidden>
     Other email addresses:
     3061 <email address hidden>
     2764 <email address hidden>
4990 Jonathan Lange <email address hidden>
     Other names:

The first two "committers" aren't actually interesting at all. They are merely robots that land things on behalf of humans.

This sort of ties in to bug 723723. What I actually want are stats about humans for mainline commits.

We could add a --ignore flag to allow you to specify committers to ignore.

An alternative would be to have pqm, tarmac, etc set a revision property (if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail...) and have bzr-stats pick up on that. Again, this wouldn't really help with historic commits.

What he wants, though, is to say that commit 10254 in the Launchpad
mainline was committed by PQM, but the work inside that branch was done
by Jonathan Lange, so he gets 1 point for a mainline commit of work he
committed.

At least, that is what I get out of what he said.

So iterate the mainline revisions, find what revisions were merged for
each mainline, each author listed gets 1 commit point for it landing in
mainline. (this could include the person landing it, or not)
