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.
