#1454973 — get_maintainer.pl and .mailmap entries with more than 2 addresses

Hello Florian.

There is at least an oddity with get_maintainer handling of a
.mailmap entry form.

For instance:

Mauro's .mailmap entry is:
Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org> <maurochehab@gmail.com> <mchehab@infradead.org> <mchehab@redhat.com> <m.chehab@samsung.com> <mchehab@osg.samsung.com> <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

Is this a valid form?

get_maintainer output for Mauro is:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/media/ -f
Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org> <maurochehab@gmail.com> <mchehab@infradead.org> <mchehab@redhat.com> <m.chehab@samsung.com> <mchehab@osg.samsung.com> (maintainer:MEDIA INPUT INFRASTRUCTURE (V4L/DVB))

I believe the Mauro's and Shuah's .mailmap entries are improper and
should be changed, but I'm not completely aware of git .mailmap
handling and the documentation seems weakly specified.

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-check-mailmap

Maybe get_maintainer.pl needs a change or perhaps this patch
is  appropriate.

I do not think so, according to "git shortlog --help" (the canonical
source of the document is Documentation/mailmap.txt, but shortlog
doc includes it).  Here is the relevant bits.

    In the simple form, each line in the file consists of the canonical
    real name of an author, whitespace, and an email address used in the
    commit (enclosed by '<' and '>') to map to the name. For example:
    --
            Proper Name <commit@email.xx>
    --

    The more complex forms are:
    --
            <proper@email.xx> <commit@email.xx>
    --
    which allows mailmap to replace only the email part of a commit, and:
    --
            Proper Name <proper@email.xx> <commit@email.xx>
    --
    which allows mailmap to replace both the name and the email of a
    commit matching the specified commit email address, and:
    --
            Proper Name <proper@email.xx> Commit Name <commit@email.xx>
    --
    which allows mailmap to replace both the name and the email of a
    commit matching both the specified commit name and email address.

As far as I understand, a single entry with just their
name and preferred email address would work too because
the name parts are all spelled identically.

I am fine with change to my entry. Thanks for fixing it.

Yes, my kernel.org address is up. Better to keep it as the canonical address,
as this is unlikely to change as it is not associated to an e-mail provider.

The mchehab@brturbo.com.br is indeed an old email that I used on my
first submissions.

I don't know a mywing81@gmail.com address... that looks really weird
on my eyes...

Hmm...

    [media] saa7134: port Asus P7131 Hybrid to use the new rc-core
    
    The rc map table were corrected thanks to Giorgio input and tests.
    
    Reported-by: Giorgio Vazzana <mywing81@gmail.com>

    Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

I don't remember the dirty details about such patch anymore... too
many years ago. From the custody chain, I _suspect_ that Giorgio
proposed a patch to be applied against the saa7134 driver, but the 
remote controller map table was moved to a separate file about 7
months before such patch by those changesets:

6686fa6917ca V4L/DVB: Break Remote Controller keymaps into modules
77b7422d48cd V4L/DVB: ir-common: move IR tables from ir-keymaps.c to a separate file

I likely rewrote his patch against the new driver, but somehow
I mangled with the author name/email. In any case, mywing81@gmail.com
should not be associated with me.

All above are my e-mails. Let's point them all to mchehab@kernel.org.

This one is mangled and doesn't belong to me. So, it shouldn't be
at the .mailmap file.
