About the map. I agree with Richard that we should do best approach and not
to fully reconstruct history of people who has switched email address multi
times. I cloned git://thyrsus.com/repositories/gcc-conversion.git and made
a clean up:

- for logins with duplicite emails I chose the latest one used on gcc-patches 
mailing list
- comments were removed
- a few entries contained timezone and I stripped that

Final version of the map can be seen here:

@Maxim: would it be possible to update your script so that it will use:
--authors-file=gcc.map ?

Is it desired for the transition to use the author map? Do we want it?
