I found some more on Google Groups and added them to parrothist.pod
(see r15652). It seems, however, that many are lost in the mists of
time. Also, there are double-ups aren't there? For instance, 0.0.11
and 0.0.11.2 are both called "Dubloon" am I correct? Is the name not
included as part of the release tag? That might be a good idea for
future automated searches.

Done. Many of the early releases had no name, but instead had a little dialogue at the
beginning of the release notes (simon liked c.s. lewis, later pumpkings paid homage to JMS,
the prisoner, etc.). These and other no-named releases are marked as n/a for the name.
It wasn't until the "Octarine" release that named releases became de riguer. And yes, there
seem to be two "bugfix" releases, both of which share the name of their buggy predecessors.
Regards.
