    # This list is used by git-shortlog to fix botched name translations in the git archive,
    # making contributions from the same person appear not to be so.
    # Reasons include:
    # - the author's full name was messed up and/or
    # - not always written the same way
    # - the author has multiple email addresses
    #
    # Note: NEVER REMOVE A MAILMAP ENTRY.
    # These maps tie a commit author to a real human for accountability.
    # If you remove a mailmap, then we lose the tie between author and human.
    #
    # -------------------------------------------------------------------
    # Format of each line allows mailmap to replace both the name
    # and the email of a commit matching the specified commit email:
    #
    # Proper Name <proper@email.xx> Commit Name <commit@email.xx>
    # ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    # How we want it to appear How it actually exists in git log
    #
    # See git-shortlog(1) for more explanation.
