[PATCH] Claim maintainership for block2mtd and update email addresses

[PATCH] Claim maintainership for block2mtd and update email addresses

[Jörn Engel]

I have been prime author and maintainer of block2mtd from day one, but
neither MAINTAINERS nor the module source makes this fact clear.  And while
I'm at it, update my email addresses tree-wide, as the old address currently
bounces and change my name to "joern" as unicode will likely continue to
cause trouble until the end of this century.

Yup.  Your name comes out like that when sylpheed does its
save-email-to-a-file thing as well and I haven't got around to working out
why, or to reporting it.

In this case it looks like the dud characters came about due to "[MTD] Fix
legacy character sets throughout drivers/mtd, include/linux/mtd".  Which
doesn't look like it fixed anything much really.

Going with the asciified/anglicised/bastardised spelling is a practical
(albeit unhappy) solution.

I'm happy if people spend effort and make unicode work.  Until then I'll
semi-officially change my name to "Joern" and keep collecting unusual
specimens.

Just wondering - nothing personal at all. What's the official plan for 
this - do we want (when utf8 works) to use utf8 codes for symbols only for 
languages mostly based on ASCII, like iso-8859-15, or for all? Would we, 
for example, then also write Cyrillic names in utf-8 and every other 
alphabet for that matter? Didn't find anything under Documentation about 
that. Maybe we want to document it somewhere? Wasn't C-sources originally 
supposed to be ASCII? So, what we use in sources, what under Documentation 
or in MAINTAINERS may be different matters?

Thanks
Guennadi

UTF-8 already works fine in git.  There is some support in recent versions
to allow commit messages and users to be specified in other encodings.

I think the issue here is with mailers modifying the encoding of data in
message files.

My reply header should be to Jörn, with a proper 'o' with two dots over it.
By default, my mailer wants to encode the message in iso-8859-1.  If I add
a single unicode character, say '‣', then the whole message will get
encoded in UTF-8.

UTF-8 has the advantage of supporting nearly all character sets.  The extra
space needed isn't really an issue for usernames or for comment messages.
