Was inclusion of the  jsessionid=... deliberate?

This is great Alex!

I believe you have email information for at least some developers.
Could you be persuaded to release this using a mbox_sha1sum[1]? mbox
and mbox_sha1sum are currently seem to be the best bet for unique
identifiers for persons across non-communicating systems.

mbox_sha1sum is safe from email address harvesters.
