Then they send such patch from within the stable tree, because it's easier, I guess. Without the .mailmap all these backports will go to wrong email address - my @canonical.com will start bouncing in two days. In the same time I am not sure which mailmap is being followed by your and other stable-folks tools, when notifying with backport queue ("5.16.17-rc1 review" etc.). Plus people actually might have some questions about some my backported commit. They might respond to the email shown in git log, which will be wrong without mailmap file. Best regards, Krzysztof
