mailmap header comments
# This list is used by git-shortlog to fix botched name translations in the git archive,
# making contributions from the same person appear not to be so.
# Reasons include:
# - the author's full name was messed up and/or
# - not always written the same way
# - the author has multiple email addresses
#
# Note: NEVER REMOVE A MAILMAP ENTRY.
# These maps tie a commit author to a real human for accountability.
# If you remove a mailmap, then we lose the tie between author and human.
#
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# Format of each line allows mailmap to replace both the name
# and the email of a commit matching the specified commit email:
#
# Proper Name <proper@email.xx> Commit Name <commit@email.xx>
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# How we want it to appear How it actually exists in git log
#
# See git-shortlog(1) for more explanation.
