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.

You need to be in the file since you have submitted patches using three aliases.

No, I've submitted patches using three email addresses (well, two - one is a typo).

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

Try running "git shortlog" too, you'll see I only appear once using the existing 99-line .mailmap file.
