My point is that this line, which is in .mailmap now (and which your
patch preserves):
> Carlos Bilbao <carlos.bilbao.osdev@xxxxxxxxx> <carlos.bilbao@xxxxxxx>
...says to map the @amd.com address to the gmail address. But this new
line:
> Carlos Bilbao <carlos.bilbao@xxxxxxxxxx> <carlos.bilbao@xxxxxxx>
says to map @amd.com to @kernel.org instead. At best, this is
nonsensical; at worst, you may not get the full remapping of @amd.com
that you seem to want. So ... why leave that line in place?
Thanks,
