There is a new version available. This version fixes the reset problem Bobo mentioned in the comments and it also adds a sidebar widget that can be used to show a smaller version of the list.

Anyone running a selfhosted (non-wordpress.com) WordPress blog using version 2.5 or newer is welcome to test a new plugin a developer friend and I have been working on (he’s done the vast majority of the work – thanks Mike!).

This plugin creates a customizable listing of your commentators based on the number of comments they have left. You can also generate tables of commentators based on date ranges so you could see your top commentators in 2007 or use smaller ranges for comment based contests.

You can see examples of it in action at http://blog.techfun.org/commentators and http://blog.techfun.org/playing-with-commentator-rank-plugin and in the sidebar.

The Readme.txt file tells how to install it and use it. If you run into any problems or find any of the instructions unclear, just send an email to the Help address in the ReadMe.txt file.
