Summary: Automate generation of contributor names in release notes
Key: CALCITE-6125
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-6125
Project: Calcite
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Julian Hyde
Automate generation of contributor names in release notes. Currently the
process requires manual effort because people do not use their real name in the
author field of their git commit.
For example, consider generating the list for release 1.32.0. Here is a rough
process:
{noformat}
$ git log calcite-1.31.0..calcite-1.32.0 | egrep 'Author:|Co-authored-by:' |
sort -u
Author: Alessandro Solimando <alessandro.solima...@gmail.com>
Author: almansour <ali.mans...@murex.com>
Author: Andrei Sereda <25229979+asereda...@users.noreply.github.com>

If we add a [git mailmap file|https://git-scm.com/docs/gitmailmap],
{{.mailmap}}, we can translate some of the names 'lincolon.lil' to 'Lincoln
Lee' and 'wumou.wm' to 'Mou Wu':

I propose to add a mailmap file, and change the release process so that the
release manager must modify the mailmap to achieve the right names in the
release notes (not edit the names manually).
