So, I'm a bit of a packrat with regards to email. Anyway,
I thought it would be a hoot to list the top mailing list posters based
on what's in my Cygwin mbox file. A quick perl script that used
Mail::Mbox::MessageParser made this possible.
The below are the addresses and number of messages for those with
more than 100 posts:
28648 messages processed, of which 28617 had legible email addresses.

This includes cygwin@ and cygwin-apps@, not the -xfree, -patches, -cvs,
et al. My mbox file starts around 19-Jun-2003 and goes to the present.
Update:
I figured since the mbox files are available for easy ftp access on
sources.redhat.com I'd run it with the "official" ones. So here are the
results for that. This one includes only the cygwin@ list from the
beginning (1997) to the end of last month, since this month's mbox file
isn't available yet. Since this one is much longer I limited it to the
first 50.

When you combine all of cgf's various email addresses you come to the
stunning conclusion that he's been doing this for quite a while and lent
quite a bit of his time to it. Thank you, Chris.

PS: If anyone is worried about email addresses being available to be
parsed by spammers from this post, then take a reality pill. It would
be much easier for said spammer to download the archives and extract the
un-munged addresses (producing thousands) rather than manually trying to
get them from this post and getting fifty or so.
