Thoma, David, I realise you both maintain a "master" copy of email addresses for DPDK contributors, so feel free to submit a v4 with that list. Overall, though, I really think we need to have a mailmap file in the repo, rather than asking people to maintain their own if they want repository stats. In the meantime, I am submitting this v3 in the hope others find it useful. Thanks, /Bruce
