For example, if you look e.g. at commit 6ebdee5af47df0c64354e452419= 015a694c25f5f, you will see that your middle name was recorded, but if = you look e.g. at f84df81f654aeb0ac4582e0b3be162cba6ea5232 you will see = that it was not always recorded with your changes. Therefore I would recommend leaving the old line in place, and just *ad= ding* another one. Besides, for consistency I would leave the middle name in there. Otherw= ise, people might be wondering why their shortlog calls bring up some o= ther name. In other words, if you add a new line, you really want to us= e the same clear name as before. You actually do not even need to add a new line if you plan on submitti= ng patches with your middle name. Remember: the main purpose of .mailma= p is to support shortlog, i.e. appropriate grouping of patches by perso= n (such as the two commits I mentioned above). Ciao, Johannes P.S.: That's a major bummer on your three forced-offline weeks. I feel = with ya!
