Company affiliation transition

Company affiliation transition

Hi,

The simplest solution to keep the .organizationmap[1] file up to date regarding the Red Hat / InkTank acquisition would be to just wait for developers with an @inktank.com email to move to a @redhat.com email. I guess the same could be applied to other company affiliation change, as long as all the company is absorbed. It does not work well when a single individual moves from one company to another and keeps using her/his personal email.

Does anyone see a problem with this approach ? 

Cheers

I think it would be ideal if the same individual's contributions can be 
attributed to multiple organizations depending on which email they 
used, for exactly this reason.  The way that .organizationmap and .mailmap 
are chained together makes this impossible, as far as I can tell?

I'm not sure exactly what you're proposing...

Hi,

Sorry for being unclear, a commit will hopefully be better:

https://github.com/dachary/ceph/commit/de09adad2f9ede76727a87030c141236793d997f

This associates all @inktank.com to Intkank and all @redhat.com to Red Hat. If you use your @redhat.com email a commit will count as Red Hat. Otherwise it counts as Inktank.

The .mailmap normalizes names to cope with mistakes but does not force a given individual to show under a single email.

Cheers

Ah, perfect.  Yeah, this sounds good!
