[Docutils-develop] Please state preferred email address for Git repository

[Guenter M. <mi...@us...>]

Dear Docutils developers,

we plan to move the Docutils version repository from SVN to Git.

As Git uses "Name <mail-name@host>" instead of the Sourceforge user name
to identify the Authors/Sponsors of a commit, we need to provide this info
to the conversion script.

The default will be the one provided by Sourceforge: "<sfname>@users.sf.net".

If you have included an email address in the "author" info of a contributed
file, this will be used instead.

This is your chance to announce a preferred/up to date email address under
which you will be known in the Git repo.


Thank you,

Günter

For completeness, this is the list of Subversion usernames that we need to map. I went through and identified the person that each username corresponds to, but due to GDPR / UK GDPR we want explicit permission to use everybody's email, if it is one not listed in an authorship tag or the "users.sf.net" one.

Equally, if I've gotten your name wrong, please do let me know and I can update the mapping file:

I would suggest using the default email but encouraging people to submit a patch
to add entries to the '.mailmap' file. There are docs on the internet about this
but tl;dr: the format is:

  <preferred e-mail 1> <other e-mail 1>
  <preferred e-mail 2> <other e-mail 2>
  <preferred e-mail 3> <other e-mail 3>
  ...

If you want to do this now, please use ste...@th...ru for my
contributions.

Cheers,
Stephen
