Comment:

 In [changeset:"58899" 58899]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="58899"
 Meta: Add .mailmap to ascribe git commits to proper author.

 From time to time a new commit will appear from an existing commit which
 has a different name or email address (or both) than an existing name or
 email address. This occurs because of changing names and changing emails
 and because of mistakes. Additionally, the `svg`-to-`git` process double-
 encodes names from `profiles.wordpress.org` causing corruption in names
 with non-US-ASCII characters.

 This patch introduces a `.mailmap` file to alias committers so that:

  - All contributions for a given person are shown for that person.
  - Committers will be able to control or fix the display of their own
 name.

 The `.mailmap` file is a standard `git` configuration.

 Developed in https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress-develop/pull/7180
 Discussed in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/61864

 Fixes #61864.
