Seems to me the point is to have commit id's which encourage and support responsibility. Since we know each other primarily by email id's, (and yes, these change periodically), it seems completely reasonable to me to request that these be done using functional email addresses. They may or may not represent a, (potentially temporary), work assignment or employment. For someone who frequently changes work assignments or employment, a more generic address, either a personal one, or a cut-out or email forwarder like gmail intended specifically for that purpose might be appropriate. I read the suggestion as meaning that it should, in general, be possible for me as a developer and/or consumer to contact the author of a particular commit, which sounds completely appropriate to me, at least superficially. If the commit id's aren't email addresses, then we'd need to use some other mapping to figure out how to contact commit authors. Or are there other ways to handle this already? --rich
