463 kernel developers missing!

Here's a new .mailmap file for the kernel that cleans up the horrible
mess of names and email addresses in the log. To use it put it at the
root of your kernel tree and type 'git shortlog'. Before the clean up
there were 4,284 developers, after 3,821. There are 5,051 unique
emails.

The mailmap file contains all email addresses that have been used to
submit patches to the kernel. Don't freak out about your email address
being in the file, if it is in the file it is already in Google since
the kernel log is already in Google.

Putting all the email addresses and names into this file allows it to
be used as a basis for future validation. Since I don't know perl, can
someone whip up a patch to checkpatch.pl that validates the emails in
new patches against the ones in mailmap? Then if you aren't in mailmap
part of your commit needs to include a new entry for mailmap.

Another useful script would take the output of "git log | grep ^Author
| sort -u" and diff the list of email address against the mailmap
file. Any new emails found are new people that need to be added to
mailmap. Only the emails should be checked, not the names.

Please excuse any errors I made in the clean up process, a large
portion of it was done manually. After the base file is in we can
patch it to fix the errors. For those of you using a dozen aliases,
you might want to order them so that your current email is the last
one in the list. James Bottomley has the most aliases, 13.

PS It's not a diff because it would be too big to post.

4, 152
5, 118
more, 1242

You count merges as patches.

Dave Miller = David S. Miller

In this case your .mailmap made the result worse...

The charset of the names is pretty random - that should be fixed at some
point.

200 kB would be OK for linux-kernel (AFAIR the current limit
is 400 kB). But to prevent charset problems a compressed attachment
might make sense...

I just used the output from git shortlog, is there a better way?

Easily fixed, I just missed one of his aliases.
12% of all name/email pairs have errors in them, I didn't catch them all.

I use "cg-log --summary", but there's most likely also some easy way
without cogito.

Follow on patches can fix the charset issues, right now they are
simply copied from the log messages. I've tried to preserve them as
best as I can but they have been mangled pretty badly.

It also saved the mail server from sending out a couple hundred GB of mail.

The main change is including every email in the mailmap and not just
the exceptions. By putting all emails into the file it becomes
possible to use the file for validation. And we need validation, the
current log has a 12% error rate.

I'll send it in patch form to whoever is going to send it upstream.
Who would that be?

Re: 463 kernel developers missing! [In reply to]

Andrew was getting credit for Len Brown's patches, new top 20.

Of course the list has errors in it, but they are easy to find and
fix. Once they are fixed they will never change since they reflect the
existing history in the tree.

Let's get the main patch in and then everyone can send in little
patches to fix the errors. I've removed all of the errors I can via
scripts, now it is a manual process to spot the aliases.

So that we can validate against future misspellings of your name and
email address. It's all about doing validation and stopping the
errors. The current log has over 1,000 typos in the names and emails.
Getting rid of the typos makes it possible to generate clean
statistics.

If you're paranoid get a new gmail address for each commit. From
reading the list of authors I'd say we have about 10 paranoid people
out of 3,840.

Just because anyone can grep the kernel log for email addresses [to
send spam to], doesn't mean that you need to do it for them.

Please read git-shortlog(1) and then remove me from this file because
it won't change anything.

You need to be in the file since you have submitted patches using three aliases.

No, I've submitted patches using three email addresses (well, two - one is
a typo).

Try running "git shortlog" too, you'll see I only appear once using the
existing 99-line .mailmap file.

git-shortlog --no-merges

You can also avoid the grepping:

git-shortlog -n -s --no-merges

That's the whole point of this list. When you submit patches in the
future we can check your name/email against the list and flag it if it
isn't there. That will alert you that you've made a typo.

A later version of this list could separate the valid current
names/addresses from the entries that are fixing typos or that have
old emails. That would improve the validation. But I don't have an
automated way to tell me which alias is the current one. Access to the
current LKML subscriber list would supply the needed info as to which
one to pick.

Please dont use LKML subscriptions as the authority of one's preferred
email address.

I, for instance, am *only* subscribed to LKML using my gmail account.
I prefer that nobody ever email my gmail account directly -- I use my
gmail account as a filter -- gmail filters my mails and fwd's specific
mails to my other specific email addresses -- I rarely read gmail
directly, and I am unlikely to ever read an email addressed to my
gmail box.

I favor my "at linuxtv dot org" account for my kernel work, and I hope
that is the email that shows up as primary for me (I would only guess
that I have one or two aliases in this .mailmap file.)

Regards,

Mike

I was only going to use it to help decide which alias was the right
alias, not to generate new entries. In your case it wouldn't help.

You have used four aliases: krufky, infradead, linuxtv, m1k.

I don't make typos in my name or email address.

Validation of what?
The current alias is the most recent active one.

I'm not subscribed to the LKML with a public address.
Please Cc: me if you submit a patch for this so I can add a Nacked-By:
and/or cleanup the list by removing redundant entires. Even if git-shortlog
is changed to distinguish between people who share the same name, it would
still be a list of exceptions rather than everyone.

You just admitted six lines early that you made a typo.

Comparing to LKML subscribers would not be used to generate new email
addresses. It would only help to identify which existing alias is your
current one. But we don't have to do it that way, I can use the email
of your most recent commit as your current address and you can fix it
if it is wrong. Only email addresses that appear in the kernel log
should appear in the mailmap file.

No, all I said was that one is a typo. I did not make it.

Other people aren't perfect, I've found over 1,000 typos in the those
names and emails. We need a validation mechanism.

You keep using the word "need"; I do not think it means what you think
it does. :-)

Seriously, why is it so important? It's a nice to have, and I
recognize that you've spent a bunch of time on it. But if the goal is
to get better statistics, and in exchange we forcibly map all Mark
Browns to one e-mail address, and/or force them to all adopt middle
initials (what if there are two Dan Smith's that don't have middle
initials) just for the convenience of your statistics gathering, I
would gently suggest to you that you've forgotten which is the tail,
and which is the dog.
