It > sounds like they should all be canonicalized to u...@gcc.gnu.org. I think if you dug there would be enough folks who've moved employment over time and others who may change employers over time. Fixing this to a non gcc.gnu.org in the commit logs is just going to cause annoyance and confusion over time and I think we're better off with just avoiding it. After all the information is in the changelog and in the commit - currently svn log shows username with an implicit gcc.gnu.org. I can certainly say I'm in those shoes - you can work that out from the Changelogs and I'm sure there may be others too. It sounds like gcc.gnu.org is the safest map for everyone. regards Ramana > > - FChE
