Hi, We currently don't enforce any particular standard for e-mail addresses for developers committing to gentoo.git. FWICS, the majority of developers is using their @gentoo.org e-mail addresses. However, a few developers are using some other addresses.
Using [email protected] e-mail addresses generally causes problems in accounting for commits. For example, our retirement scripts can't detect commits made using non-Gentoo e-mail address. My dev-timeline scripts [1] account for all emails in LDAP (which doesn't cover all addresses developers use). FWIK gkeys accounts for all addresses in the OpenPGP key UIDs. In my opinion, that's a lot of hoops to jump through to workaround bad practice. Therefore, I'd like to start enforcing (at the level of the hook verifying signatures) that all commits made to gentoo.git (and other repositories requiring dev signatures) are made using @gentoo.org e-mail address (for committer field). Is anyone opposed to that? Does anyone know of a valid reason to use [email protected] address when committing? [1]:https://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/dev-timeline.html -- Best regards, Michał Górny
