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,
