Nanako did 70+ patches, and was on many discussion threads, which
made me feel that I was corresponding with the same person across
address change.  I however cannot recall this contributor with just
3 patches whose last contribution was in 2007.

But more importantly, this leftover "unreachable" comment I did not
notice before sending the patch out---I did not send any "please
ping back" message to any suspected current address for this
contributor.

The last contribution was from netapp.com address in late 2007 (the
other address sent two patches in 2005), so I'd suggest making the
netapp address the canonical one.  If we cannot reach him, that is.
