There is an "alias" file at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~cbosdo/gitdm-lo-config/tree/aliases which can be used to merge several email addresses. My attribution script also extracts all "real names" from the git logs and prefers a 2-word name over a 1-word name. So if you commit as "luctur <[email protected]>" and as "Gianluca Turconi <[email protected]>" the next time, the full name will be shown. The disadvantage is that "Wol" will now always be credited as "Wols Lists" :-). I hope that makes things clear. > > > In fact, I' haven't found among the contributors the name of > > > Davide Prina, co-author of the Italian spellchecker dictionary. > > I guess we need to think about this too - perhaps we need an addendum > list of people who have contributed things, but for whom the git log is > inaccurate / incomplete / fragmentary :-) Of course, we can only look at the "author" or "committer" names for the commits.

I did not include affiliation tags on purpose, as I did not want to be too invasive concerning privacy. The Oracle guys already complained that their name shows up on a Libreoffice web site (ask thorsten), and I did not want to go too far to make people complain (even if it is based on public information anyway). But if the SC says they are fine with affiliations, I can easily add those affiliations that we have identified. > Oh, and a mail link at the bottom for corrections (the dev list > perhaps?). I'll add something to have people mail me directly, I only skim the dev list these days. That having said, there is still no update mechanism in place as I still don't have access to that CMS. :-( Sebastian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
