I'm really open to opinions on this though. Just use real email addresses. If someone doesn't want to use their current home or work email address, or has an address that they don't own (and therefore will change in the future), they can easily get a google mail or yahoo mail account purely for a commit email address. The Linux kernel uses real email addresses. Why would OE do something different? Since the git commit Id is always "Real Name " (not just a raw email address) then the Real Name will usually stay the same irrespective of the email address changing - this provides the desired continuity of identification. -- Rod
