Hi Greg,
I re-checked that with the current linux git repository from Linux and
these email addresses are definitively there. I used "git log
--reverse --all --format='...%aN;%aE;%cN;cE' and dumped the full
history into a file. From there I analyze the file further with a
small script that gets all email addresses out of the dump and more or
less does a "uniq" call on names and mails giving an overview who used
which alias.

It seems as if the "@...kroa.org" addresses where just used when you
acted as a "committer" not as "author". Maybe that's the reason why
they never showed up in the commit logs?

I added them since they were used/ I found them in git log and because
they have a TLD (.org) - so I assumed that these are working
addresses.
