I am not enthused by the idea of replying to this thread, knowing that many of the CC'ed addresses will bounce X-<, but I agree with you on all three counts. Even for those who are no longer active, it makes sense to unify multiple idents that are spelled differently to help "git shortlog", but which one to unify to is not something we can decide without their input. Which leads me to suggest something like the attached patch. I wrote "Please notify us" for those who are no longer active and forgot how .mailmap entries are spelled to ask for help correcting. Of course, the updated instruction does not prevent a motivated volunteer to contact the people _individually_ and then send in a patch with entries that the volunteer secured consent, perhaps in the form of Acked-by ;-) .mailmap | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git i/.mailmap w/.mailmap index 9c6a446bdf..20b581c879 100644 --- i/.mailmap +++ w/.mailmap @@ -4,6 +4,11 @@ # and/or not always written the same way, making contributions from the # same person appearing not to be so. # +# If you find an incorrect entry that affects yourself, please notify us +# at and suggest corrections.
