Thanks and sorry to bother.

Hello,

I already run into that several times as I frequently use
scripts/get_maintainer.pl. IMHO we need a mechanism to deprecate email
addresses, preferably using .mailmap as data source. Other addresses
that would need similar handling are (at least):
12o3l at tiscali.nl -> roel.kluin at gmail.com
damm at igel.co.jp -> damm at opensource.se
eric.miao at marvell.com -> eric.y.miao at gmail.com
jarkko.nikula at nokia.com -> jhnikula at gmail.com
pavel at suse.cz -> pavel at ucw.cz
spyro at f2s.com -> ian at mnementh.co.uk
x0044955 at ti.com -> ??
I'd suggest to check if the address is listed in .mailmap and use the
first entry for that person. This would need some work to adapt
.mailmap, as .mailmap mainly collects wrong entries.
Best regards
Uwe

This breaks when you get multiple people with the same name - I'm not
the only Mark Brown for example (though I don't think any others are
actually contributing patches). It'd be better to add an explicit mail
address rewriting feature (.forward?).

As is, I think it's not much of a problem.
People move around and email addresses become invalid.
Over short periods of time, these problems are resolved
without effort or intervention.
scripts/get_maintainer.pl uses first MAINTAINERS patterns
and maintainer name/address, then git history. The most
recent git name/address combination is used and multiple
address are ignored by default.
If multiple people with identical names are contributing,
a flag --noremove-duplicates exists to stop name/address
merging.

Make sure you adapt git as well.
One thing you could do would be to update
scripts/get_maintainer.pl to scan all MAINTAINERS sections
for a matching name and use that address if it differs from
git log history.
That could update the case where the person has a MAINTAINERS
entry, is not a listed maintainer for a particular file and
had last submitted patches for that file using an old/invalid
address.
I will not be submitting such a patch.
