Hi Eric -- you wrote commit 3bd2608db72997, which included the
comment for this bit of .mailmap:
+# Next, translate a few commits where mailman rewrote the From: line due
+# to strict SPF, although we prefer to avoid adding more entries like that.
What did you mean by "we prefer to avoid adding more entries" ?
It reads to me like "don't add more entries even if we get more
accidental attributed-to-the-list commits" (and I was actually
thinking about replying to this patch to say "the mailmap file
says we shouldn't add more of these lines"), but presumably since
you've reviewed this patch that wasn't the actual intention.
Maybe the comment could use clarification.
thanks
