As to the actual email addresses, for more recent patches, the Signed-off should help. For earlier ones, isn't their some script which 'knows' a bunch of canonical author->email mappings? (the shortlog script or something)? Is the full committer email address actually in the changeset in BK? If so, given that we have the unique id (immutable I believe) of the changset, could it be extracted directly from BK? David
