Wow, great! I didn't know about this feature, thank you! > Nice, didn’t know that. I guess we should create a .mailmap based on > the current AUTHORS file, which is authoritative. Alex, are you willing > to do that? Yes, I will do that. But before sending a patch I have some questions to people about their "canonical" names/e-mails that should be put in .mailmap: - Ricardo: <ricardo.wur...@mdc-berlin.de> or <rek...@elephly.net>? - Mark: Mark H Weaver or Mark H. Weaver? - Amirouche: "amz3 <amirou...@hypermove.net>" or "Amirouche Boubekki <amirouche.boube...@gmail.com>"? (I suppose these belongs to a single person) - Ben: <b.woodcr...@uq.edu.au> or <donttrust...@gmail.com>? - Christopher: Christopher Allan Webber or Christopher A. Webber? - Tomáš: <sleep_wal...@suse.cz> or <sleep_wal...@gnu.org>? - Taylan: Taylan Ulrich Bayirli/Kammer or Taylan Ulrich Bayırlı/Kammer? - David: <dthomps...@worcester.edu> or <dthomp...@member.fsf.org>? - Cyprien Nicolas: Nicolas is a name, right? So I think the preferable form would be "Nicolas Cyprien", no? P.S.: I Cc-ed all the people, so make sure to remove them all during answering to prevent spamming them. -- Alex
