* mailmap: initial, trying to tidy up a lot of the commit historyRob Norris2023-10-101-0/+189
This comes from the observation that a huge number of commit author fields look quite strange (to my eyes), but quite often the Signed-off-by: trailer has the correct name. For these I have updated the name where it was obvious how to do so, however, I have not created a mapping for the commit email to the Signed-off-by email, as whatever I choose for email will become the prime candidate for inclusion in the AUTHORS file, and care needs to be taken when acting without explicit consent. There's a small handful of commits that look like they were done on local machines, or CI hosts, or similar, where the git authorship config wasn't set up properly. Its obvious what this should look like, so I've just done them. The remainder is mapping Github noreply emails to either an obviously-correct Signed-off-by trailer, or to a an author from another commit. This was mostly done by hand, so there may be errors, but I think its close. I do not understand where these come from - I know that they're what commits made via Github web look like when there's no real address set on the account, but I find it hard to believe that so many of these came through the web, especially given the complexity of most of the changes. I suspect there's some kind of merge helper tool in play here. Regardless, the history is set now, and this tries to get it back on track. Obviously, all of this helps the history look tidy, but this also feeds into the AUTHORS update script. See next commit.
