I was also proposing (and would like to re-air that here) enforcing that
the committer field of each commit is a (valid) @gcc.gnu.org email.
This can be configured repo-locally via:
$ git config committer.email <yourname>@gcc.gnu.org
Git has supported this since 39ab4d0951ba64edcfae7809740715991b44fa6d
(v2.22.0).
This makes a permanent association of each commit to its authors
Sourceware account.
This should not inhibit pushes, as the committer should be a reflection
of who /applied/ a patch, and anyone applying a patch that can also push
has a Sourceware account. It also should not inhibit any workflow, as
it should be automatic.
This will make it hard to a) find emails from a maintainer/committer in
the mailing list archives -- since it's not generally possible to send
"From:" a @gcc.gnu.org address -- and b) make it hard to compile
statistics about contributions from corporate domains (which people do do).
I do not object to having the bugzilla account also listed in
MAINTAINERS, although I've never had trouble finding people by name.
