Subject: Re: [GIT PULL] new mailmap file for the linux kernel git repository

updated mailmap file for LK repository

The current version of the .mailmap file does only capture a fraction of errors
and ambiguity when looking at developers emails and names. Hence, this revised
version tries to address many more names and, as a result, to clarify maintainer
information. Issues addressed:
 - Typos in names
 - Typos in mails
 - Mapping of ambiguous mail adresses (e.g. {aa@...cc, aa@...e.(none),
   aa@...top.bb.cc,...} becomes {aa@...cc}) but keeping LKML specific ones
 - Mapping of names to entries with only email information
 - Correct usage of special character (e.g. German umlauts)
 - Harmonization of position and style of last name (no more all-caps names
   like "First LAST" or those of "Last, First")
 - No initials in names if not necessary
 - Conversion of email addresses to lower case

Finally I am back from my trip through Germany and after attending
LinuxTag in Berlin last week, reading Documentation/SubmittingPatches,
and checking other patch submissions, I give this topic finally a new
try...  Hopefully my submission confirms to the LK standards this
time. I can certify that this contribution was conscientiously created
in whole by me and therefore added the sign-off message.

to get the changes in the attached patch file (since even the
web-interface of GMail wraps lines) -- or simply inspect/apply that
