Oh, I read them. They make no sense.
If the uuid isn't random, but tied to the email address, then it's
worthless.
If you like the random 16-letter jumbles, then for christ sake JUST CHANGE
"git log" to hash the author name for you. You'll get the uuid's. What I'm
telling you is that NOBODY SANE WANTS TO EVER SEE THEM.
And if nobody wants them, then nobody will maintain them, and they'll be
much _less_ useful than the emails we already have.
