Wiki License History
The wiki originally had no explicit licensing text. This has been fixed since the wiki commit COPYING: The wiki is now dual licensed under CC-BY-SA-3.0 and GPL v3+ with the addition of COPYING. To be able to do that all the commits before the license change had to be accounted for; this page is a description of it for posterity.
All the content in the wiki fell into one of these categories, in decreasing order of quantity:
The authors have agreed that all of their contributions to the notmuch wiki can be dual licensed under CC-BY-SA-3.0 and GPL v3+.
The content is copied from the notmuch main repository and is licensed under GPL v3+. Effectively this is the man pages.
The authors have not been reached but their contribution have been a very minor or trivial change or cleanup of content falling into above categories.
The authors have not been reached but the content has been deleted.
Below is first a list of authors who have agreed to the license change. Next is a list of commits identifying the content in the last three categories. Finally, at the end of the page, is a script for verifying the commits in the wiki repository against the authors and the commits.

License Check Script
You can put the above lists to two files, and run them through this script to show all commits that are not accounted for by one way or another (if everything is well, this should not print anything).
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$#" != 2 ]; then
echo "usage: $0 agree.txt ignore.txt"
exit 1
fi
# cutoff point where license was switched
cutoff=8ca2edf66a79cd4dcc628cafc0c9801007f2ab71
# file listing all authors that have agreed to license change
agree=$1
# file listing all commits that can be ignored
ignore=$2
# for each commit from authors that have *not* agreed to license change
for commit in $(git log --format="format:%H %aN <%aE>" $cutoff | \
grep -v -f $agree | cut -f 1 -d " "); do
# display commits that are *not* trivial, cleanup, deleted, etc.
if ! grep -q $commit $ignore; then
git --no-pager show $commit
fi
done
