AFAIK Linux Foundation is currently in the process of setting up a
@linux.dev e-mail domain for kernel developers (hosted by migadu.com) that
doesn't suffer from any of the above.
So either the employer wants to be recognized in the commit / LKML
messages, and they are able to get their mail systems to behave [1], or
they are not, and then people will eventually be able to use LF-provided
@linux.dev address, and cast an indirect public shame on their employer by
doing so :)
[1] @linux.intel.com, @linux.ibm.com, @suse.[de,cz], you name it .. that's
exactly the reason for existence of those email domains
