""" There's a few reasons: * We should accurately map pre-developer-status contributions. For example, it'd be nice if sam <AT> cmpct.info was mapped correctly into sam <AT> gentoo.org when doing git blame. We know sam <AT> cmpct.info and sam@gentoo.org are the same person, it feels coherent to tell git that via the mechanism intended for it. * It's useful for when people retire as well. Not that I plan on going anywhere any time soon (sorry!), but this is both a useful way for people to better "retain credit" *and* for e.g. 'git blame' to work better if they then come back as a contributor but not a developer, which happens on occasion, or if they occasionally contribute with a different email address (we have this for some devs who contribute under a "work context" too). * It allows people to have git respecting changing their name for various reasons (e.g. we've had contributors start using their real name and vice-versa over the years).
