Here's a new .mailmap file for the kernel that cleans up the horrible
mess of names and email addresses in the log. To use it put it at the
root of your kernel tree and type 'git shortlog'. Before the clean up
there were 4,284 developers, after 3,821. There are 5,051 unique
emails.

The mailmap file contains all email addresses that have been used to
submit patches to the kernel. Don't freak out about your email address
being in the file, if it is in the file it is already in Google since
the kernel log is already in Google.

Just because anyone can grep the kernel log for email addresses [to send spam to], doesn't mean that you need to do it for them.

Please read git-shortlog(1) and then remove me from this file because it won't change anything.
