If anyone is interested I can send them a .mailmap that fixes a lot of the problems in the kernel tree. It's two years old so it will need updating.Please just make a patch with it, and post it to lkml and CC Linus and Andrew Morton. Repost a month later if no one picked it up.Been there, done that. 1000 message flame war ensued about privacy concerns over people's email address in the file.Well, you used git itself as the data source to fix up those email addresses, right? If so there is simply no privacy concerns as the data is already there and public. Just don't venture adding emails that are not already present in the whole Git history/content at all without consent.
I'll sent you the file and you can commit it. Please take full credit for it. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/28/134 All of the data came out of git tree. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com
