[openstack-dev] consolidating .mailmap?

[Robert Collins]

So nova has a massive .mailmap that maps multiple addresses for one
person together. I'm wondering if a) it's still needed, and b) if it
is, should we push it into all the repositories - e.g. have a single
global copy and an automated job to push updates around.

We do still need it. We also have this info duplicated elsewhere (like
stackalytics and gitdm) Perhaps we don't even store it elsewhere in that
form, but instead generate it and then ship it around?

OR - (this is from IRC conversation) We remove it from the repo
altogether since it's mainly for sdist purposes - and instead have infra
read in the mailmap info globally, then copy it into the repo before
sdist generation. The downside to that is that the AUTHORS file would be
weird for people for locally produced tarballs. BUT - I kinda doubt that
people who are re-producing tarballs from source themselves care about
the AUTHORS file.

I don't mind having it around, we could definitely have a global one
and then projects willing to pull it in could take it from there.

I like having a local copy of .mailmap so I can do things like git shortlog
work.  +1 to Roberts second option

"we push it into all the repositories - e.g. have a single
global copy and an automated job to push updates around."
