Well, this isn't ./CREDITS. Why do we need this?

.mailmap has:

#
# This list is used by git-shortlog to fix a few botched name translations
# in the git archive, either because the author's full name was messed up
# and/or not always written the same way, making contributions from the
# same person appearing not to be so or badly displayed. Also allows for
# old email addresses to map to new email addresses.

Now if this entry was mapping your ideasonboard.com and/or veo-labs.com
and/or vodalys.com and/or gmail.com addresses onto one address then I
can see why we'd need the change.


Indeed, I am sorry for the confusion :-/.

I will send a revised one to map the old addresses to this new one. Thanks.
